Operations
Most current registrations are at the third level beneath second-level names such as co.bw and org.bw, but some second-level registrations also exist, such as Botswana Telecommunications Corporation's website.[1] However, registrations at the second level have been stopped, and all entities who are currently registered under this level will be given a three year grace period to migrate to any other level.[2][3]
The most visited .bw domain is google.co.bw by Google Inc. in Botswana.[4]
Botswana Communication Regulatory Authority operates a WHOIS service for .bw domains and was previously operated by Botswana Telecommunications Corporation.[5]
