The registration of .bi domains (Burundi) is open and doesn't have any residence restrictions, this means that they can be registered by any private person or company, whatever their country of residence is.
The extension is managed by the .bi Registry since year 1996 and is a very popular extension in Burundi.
No pornographic, sexual or racist words such as sex, sexo, porn, porno, gay, lesbian, etc. Also, domain names like www.bi are not permitted. Restricted domain names will not be activated and the money will not be refunded.
A restricted domain is one of these : gov, net, edu, ac, com, co, int, mil, gouv or any other name related to government or public company use. Contact domain@nic.bi if you want to create such a domain. Note however that it will be assigned only if sponsored by an official authority. Generic names are also discouraged (such as bank, nom, art ... or a geographic notion) as it also misleads people.
