Top 10 Web Hosting Bhutan 🔟

bt.bt

nic.bt is the domain-registration and hosting operation associated with Bhutan Telecom Limited, the national telecommunications operator behind the DrukNet network. It has a particularly important position in Bhutan because it combines registration of the national .bt ccTLD with web hosting, business email, domain forwarding, VPS, colocation and managed data-center services. The result is a broader infrastructure portfolio than a conventional domain-registration portal.

Bhutan Telecom Limited was formally established on July 1, 2000, when the former Department of Telecommunications was corporatized as a fully state-owned company. Its telecommunications history reaches back much further, with the department dating from 1970 and telecommunications activity in Bhutan beginning in 1963. The company is wholly owned by Druk Holding & Investments Limited (DHI). Its workforce is in the 501–1,000 employee range, giving the operation considerably more institutional depth than a typical local hosting company.

The .bt domain is Bhutan's national country-code extension and has been delegated since July 16, 1997. Bhutan Telecom handles the administrative and technical operation connected with .bt registration through nic.bt. The namespace remains relatively small, with only a few thousand active registrations, making it strongly focused on Bhutanese organizations, companies and projects rather than mass-market international domain speculation.

Domain registration is available directly under .bt, such as example.bt, as well as through third-level namespaces including com.bt and org.bt. Registration requirements are stricter than those of unrestricted generic extensions. Bhutanese businesses may need a valid trade license, while organizations and government offices require authorization from the head of the organization. International companies can also register .bt domains, but supporting company documentation is required. International domain names must contain at least three characters.

Domain Forwarding is also available for customers who want a .bt domain while keeping their website hosted elsewhere. This is useful for companies that want a Bhutanese online identity without migrating their existing hosting environment.

The Web Hosting range consists of four Linux shared-hosting packages: Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum. Storage ranges from 500 MB to 5 GB, while each account supports one domain and one database. Depending on the package, customers receive between 5 and 50 email accounts. A .bt domain is included with the hosting account, and administration is handled through cPanel.

The hosting environment uses the traditional Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP model, making it appropriate for conventional PHP websites, company sites, content-management systems and smaller database-driven applications. The relatively modest disk quotas make these plans more suitable for business websites, institutional pages and lightweight applications than for large multimedia sites or storage-intensive workloads.

Email Hosting is available separately for domains under .bt. Packages provide either 30 or 100 email accounts, with the service including POP access and browser-based webmail. Spam and virus protection are integrated, and account administrators receive a Zimbra-based management interface for creating users, adjusting mailbox quotas and maintaining email accounts.

The infrastructure portfolio extends well beyond shared hosting. VPS, Rack Space, Cage Services and Managed Services are available for customers needing dedicated infrastructure or more control than ordinary hosting can provide. This makes nic.bt particularly relevant for Bhutanese businesses, public-sector organizations and institutions that want local hosting and domestic data residency.

The hosting and registration environment is primarily in English, while domestic services are priced in Bhutanese Ngultrum (Nu.). International .bt registration is also priced in USD. [visit website bt.bt]

Druk Host

DrukHost is a Bhutanese web hosting and Internet-services brand operated by Green e-Solutions from Thimphu. The business has been active since 2006, giving it a long operating history in Bhutan's relatively small hosting market. Green e-Solutions was founded by Sangay Tshering, with a local team covering hosting, software development, web design and related technical services.

The company combines hosting with broader online-business services, including Shared Hosting, VPS, Domain Registration and Transfers, Business Email, Web Design, Web Application Development, Logo and Graphic Design, and Website Maintenance. This gives DrukHost a practical advantage for Bhutanese customers who prefer to work with one local provider for the domain, hosting account, website creation and ongoing technical maintenance.

Shared hosting runs on Linux servers with NVMe SSD storage. The Starter package includes 100 MB storage, 50 GB monthly bandwidth, five MySQL databases and one hosted domain. Economy increases this to 1 GB NVMe storage, 200 GB bandwidth and 15 MySQL databases. Deluxe provides 3 GB storage, 500 GB transfer, unlimited MySQL databases and support for up to five domains, while Premium increases capacity to 7 GB NVMe storage, 1 TB monthly bandwidth, unlimited databases and as many as ten hosted domains.

Hosting accounts use DirectAdmin, while Softaculous simplifies installation of popular web applications. Free SSL certificates are available with the hosting environment, covering the basic HTTPS requirement without requiring a separate commercial certificate for a standard website.

The VPS Hosting range provides considerably more server-level flexibility. These virtual servers use KVM virtualization, SSD storage, dedicated RAM, a dedicated IPv4 address and a 500 Mbps network connection. Entry configurations start around 1 GB RAM, one vCPU and 25 GB SSD storage with 1 TB monthly traffic, while larger configurations increase memory, CPU, storage and transfer allowances.

VPS service is available from United States, Singapore, United Kingdom and India locations. The servers are managed, making them more suitable for customers who need the isolation and additional resources of a VPS without wanting to administer every aspect of the operating system themselves.

Domain registration and transfer services are integrated into DrukHost's customer management environment. Customers can manage domain contacts, name servers, transfer authorization codes and security settings. Eligible domain transfers normally add another registration year, while domain theft protection helps prevent unauthorized transfers.

DrukHost also provides Business Email Hosting. A standard mailbox includes 5 GB storage together with spam and virus filtering, webmail access, POP/SMTP connectivity and support for mobile devices. A separate Google-based business email option provides 30 GB per user together with online productivity applications including Docs, Sheets and Drive.

Green e-Solutions also handles website creation and maintenance. Its development services include corporate websites, custom web applications, software development, graphics and logo work, along with ongoing maintenance for existing sites. Hosting and website development are separate services, allowing customers either to host an existing website or commission a complete project.

The website is primarily available in English, and no complete Dzongkha/localized version exists. Hosting prices are mainly expressed in Bhutanese ngultrum (BTN) using the familiar Nu. notation. The website follows a fairly traditional hosting-company layout rather than the highly automated storefront style used by many larger international cloud providers. [visit website drukhost.com]
