Bangladesh's own internet country code top-level
domain -- .bd. Bangladesh's domain was launched in
1999.
The software that operates the server is still on the
4.8 version, but the 9.9.5 version is currently being
used for the same service globally.
All the domains globally have migrated to Internet
Protocol version 6 (IPV6)a version where billions of IP
addresses can be openedbut Bangladesh fell behind.
The .bd DNS (Domain Name System) is still in service
with Internet Protocol version 4 (IPV4) which has
limited IP address access. The Bangladesh domain is not limited IP address access. The Bangladesh domain is not
digitally signed yet so we have to be upgraded.
Two years ago, the regulator recommended handing
over the system to a private operator or entity.
The government declared a plan to launch another
operation for a domain for websites in the Bangla
language in 2011, but that did not happen either.

their Trade License number and Tax Identification Number
(TIN) separately.
Bangladesh should have back-up server in any sweet able
country outside Bangladesh.
