WHAT IS A .CO.BA DOMAIN

.co.ba Domain: Bosnia and Herzegovina's Private Namespace

.co.ba is a commercial namespace opened beneath .ba, the country code extension of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The national .ba registry is UTIC, a centre attached to the University of Sarajevo, and .ba itself entered the root zone in 1996. The .co.ba zone, however, is not run by that registry: it belongs to LEFTOR d.o.o., a private company based in Tuzla, which publishes its own registration rules in a separate Pravilnik adopted in 2015. Technically you sit inside the Bosnian namespace, but the party you contract with is that company.

.co.ba suits companies and local projects that want to secure a name in the Bosnian market: the operator's rules ask for no nationality and no establishment in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and priority goes entirely to whoever applies first. The sibling zone in the same country, .com.ba, is in completely different hands — those of the state-owned telecommunications operator. Sharing a country does not mean sharing a registry: the two zones run under different rules, different databases and different lookup channels, so a procedure that works in one does not apply in the other.

The point most often misunderstood here is the lookup. .co.ba records are not held in the national .ba registry's database, so a query on nic.ba returns nothing — the records are visible only through the operating company's own WHOIS service. The second practical point is expiry: the rules state that the name stops being active the moment the registration period ends, which means your site and mail go down that day. Check whether the name you want is free on the domain name search page.

This zone is not in the national .ba registry's database: UTIC, the national registry of Bosnia and Herzegovina, runs .ba together with .org.ba, .net.ba, .gov.ba, .edu.ba and .mil.ba, and publishes active name counts for each of them; .co.ba appears nowhere in that table. The practical consequence is this: you cannot find out from nic.ba who holds a .co.ba name, when it was registered or when it expires — that information exists only on the operating company's own WHOIS page. For the same reason, the registrars accredited by the national registry do not sell this zone.

Active registration term 1 - 10 years You choose it at registration
Grace period 30 days First window to renew after expiry

What happens day by day after it expires

Day 0 is the domain's expiry date

In short: for .co.ba the post-expiry timeline is set by the registry, so it differs from one extension to the next. The diagram below shows the windows that actually apply to .co.ba, day by day. One thing never changes, whichever extension you hold: renewing before the expiry date is always the cheapest and safest route.

Domain Is Available (Available)

Open-ended

A .co.ba address at this stage has not been taken yet, and it goes to whoever registers first. Check the name you have in mind — if it is free, it can be yours within minutes.

Domain Is Active (Active Period)

1 - 10 years

Once registration is complete, the domain is registered to you for the term you selected. You can renew at any point before it expires to keep it active, or switch on auto-renewal so you never have to watch the date.

Domain Is Available Again

Open-ended

Once deletion completes, the domain leaves the system and anyone can register it — popular names are often taken the same minute by someone watching. Keep auto-renewal on so a name you care about never gets this far.

Frequently Asked Questions About .co.ba Domains

The questions people actually ask before registering — answered plainly.

  • The zone is run by LEFTOR d.o.o., a private company based in Tuzla. In the opening lines of its rules the company describes itself as the owner of this namespace and the administrator of its registry; the rules were adopted at a management session held in Tuzla in 2015. UTIC, the national .ba registry of Bosnia and Herzegovina, does not run this zone: the national rules list the standard second-level zones under .ba one by one and never mention .co.ba, and the registry's published per-extension statistics leave it out too. Your counterparty is therefore the operating company, not the national registry.

  • Both sit beneath the Bosnian .ba namespace, yet they belong to different organisations and share no rules at all. .co.ba is run by a private company in Tuzla, which publishes its own regulation, its own price list and its own WHOIS service. .com.ba is held by the state-owned telecommunications operator and is marked as «delegated» in the national regulation. The practical difference is this: on the .co.ba side there is a published rulebook and a working lookup service, while on the .com.ba side neither exists.

  • No. nic.ba is the portal of the national .ba registry of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and it only knows the names held in its own database: .ba together with .org.ba, .net.ba, .gov.ba, .edu.ba and .mil.ba. The registry's own statistics page publishes an active-name figure for each of those extensions, and .co.ba does not appear there at all. To check the status of a .co.ba name you have to use the operating company's own WHOIS page. For your own registrations, use the whois search page.

  • By default yes, and in considerable detail. The regulation lists exactly what the registry publishes through WHOIS: the name itself, the details of the holder and of the administrative and technical contacts, the registration date, the date of the last change, the expiry date, the name of the registering party, the current status of the name and its DNS servers. For individuals that means full name, address and telephone; for legal persons the company name, registered address, telephone and email. Measurement confirms it — the records queried show street addresses and phone numbers. Choose the contact details you submit accordingly.

  • The regulation is blunt here: the name ceases to be active the moment the registration period ends. On the day of expiry your website will not load and mail on that domain will not work; there is no cushion. The text then gives the holder a limited additional window to renew, and once that window closes the name is deleted from the registry and becomes available to anyone. If you renew inside the window, the new term is counted from the end of the previous one, so the days lost to the delay are not given back. The safe habit is not to wait for the expiry date.

  • No. The operator's rules set no nationality requirement, no residence requirement and no Bosnian address requirement; the text simply contains no such limit, and priority is expressly tied to the principle that whoever comes first in time has the stronger right. The rules also anticipate foreign applicants: a person or organisation established abroad is identified by the identification or tax number that corresponds under the law of their own country, instead of the Bosnian personal number. A company applying from Türkiye registers on the same terms. Write to us through the contact page for details.

  • The regulation states the permitted set as a closed list: the digits 0-9, the letters a-z of the English alphabet, and the hyphen. A name may not begin or end with a hyphen, and two hyphens may not stand next to each other. Length is measured in ASCII characters, which means the letters č, ć, đ, š and ž used officially in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the Cyrillic alphabet, cannot be used in this zone. Measurement agrees: none of the registered names contains a non-ASCII character or a punycode form. If your brand uses special letters, build the name from its ASCII equivalent.
