About .bw

.bw is the official country-code domain for Botswana, one of the ccTLDs delegated by IANA to a national registry across the African continent. As internet adoption across the region keeps growing, local-extension domains like .bw are increasingly used to signal a genuine Botswana presence to customers, partners, and search engines alike.

Choosing a name for .bw

If you're registering .bw for a business or organization actually based in Botswana, keep the name closely aligned with your registered brand or trading name — that's the strongest use case for a ccTLD. For an international audience beyond Botswana, pairing .bw with a .com version of the same name is common practice.
