Bulgaria uses .bg, .бг, which requires a local presence to register. Below: who operates each namespace, what its rules actually constrain, the accredited local registrars, and how global registrars compare on price where we hold a sourced figure.
Of the 6 local storefronts read on 2026-09-29, none printed a .bg price together with its currency and tax treatment, so no local registrar is ranked; each is listed below with what its page showed. Register.BG's own list of accredited registrars could not be read, so sellers are recorded from their own pages. Global registrars that sell .bg in US dollars are the global option for a buyer in Bulgaria, not a recommendation in it.
Which registrars have a Bulgarian site, bill in EUR and sell .bg?
Three conditions decide whether a registrar can be recommended in Bulgaria rather than merely to the world from it: an interface in an official language, billing in the local currency, and selling the local namespace. All three must hold. No registrar we track currently meets all three here.
The English storefront was read and Bulgarian was not among them. Language switchers are often rendered in JavaScript, which this read cannot see, so this is not recorded as a "no".
The English storefronts were read and Bulgarian was not among them. Language switchers are often rendered in JavaScript, which this read cannot see, so this is not recorded as a "no".
Bills in USD only. "All prices are in USD" is a positive statement that no other billing currency is offered, so this is a recorded 'no' on every non-USD currency rather than an absence.

Offers EUR in a currency selector, but whether the card is charged in EUR or in USD after a conversion is not established. Nine currencies in the selector, which is more than any other registrar tracked here. Whether the card is charged in the selected currency or in USD after a conversion is NOT established: https://www.dynadot.com/community/help/question/change-currency was read on the same date and says nothing about how charges are made or about an exchange rate. Until that is established these do not pass the currency condition, because the condition exists to protect a buyer from a conversion fee and a display-only currency does not.

Offers EUR in a currency selector, but whether the card is charged in EUR or in USD after a conversion is not established. Thirteen currencies in the selector (AU$, R$, CA$, ¥, €, £, ₹, MX$, ₱, ﷼, ฿, ₺, USD $).

Nofails one condition
A dash is ignorance, not a failing grade: it means we have not established that condition either way. Several registrars render their language and currency switchers in JavaScript, which the read behind this table cannot see, so we record nothing rather than a false “no”. A currency that appears only in a display selector does not count as billing in that currency, because a converted price charged in dollars is exactly the case this condition exists to catch.
Where to buy a .bg: sellers read from their own storefronts
Register.BG's site could not be read on 2026-09-29, so the registrar list is not held and six Bulgarian sellers were chosen by their own .bg offers. Every storefront read prints euros (евро / €), not leva; three print a .bg price (Jump.BG 26.64 € promo, 29.60 € renewal; SuperHosting.BG 30,17 евро/год bundle; ICDSoft 19.80 € with hosting) but none states ДДС (VAT) treatment, so none is ranked.
Ordered by the standing .bg price each registrar's own page printed on 2026-09-29: the renewal where the page states one, else the regular price, VAT included (added at 20% where the page states prices excluding it). Price only: this site has not tested their support, uptime or transfers, and none of them carries a score.
Read, not ranked
A local-language storefront, but no .bg price with its VAT treatment on the page read.
JJump.BGThe page prints the .bg price in euros but states no tax treatment (no ДДС wording), so whether it includes VAT is not established.
SSuperHosting.BGThe page prints the .bg price in euros but states no tax treatment (no ДДС wording), so whether it includes VAT is not established. The 30,17 figure is a bundle offer with .EU.
IICDSoftThe page prints the .bg price in euros but states no tax treatment (no ДДС wording), so whether it includes VAT is not established.
Not read on 2026-09-29: ИМЕНА.БГ (The page (no document language) is the .бг registry's application form; it prints no price.); Register.BG (HTTP 502 on 2026-09-29 in the browser; over curl the site's TLS certificate chain could not be verified. Nothing read.). Unread is a fact about our read, not a finding about the registrar.
Best options in Bulgaria
No registrar we track meets all three local conditions in Bulgaria.
No registrar we track is recorded as selling .bg at all, so the namespace condition fails before language or currency is reached.
For .bg itself, the registry’s own accredited registrars are the route, and they are listed on this page where the registry publishes them. We have not tested them, so we name them rather than rank them.
does not bill in EUR; does not sell .bg; no Bulgarian-language storefront established
Verified .com renewal of $11.08. Not the cheapest .com we verify: Spaceship renews at $10.18, 9% less. Porkbun is the pick here for catalogue breadth, not for price. WHOIS privacy: free, included by default.
Buying a gTLD through an English-language registrar that bills in dollars is a real and common choice, so it is named with the trade stated rather than dropped. It is not a recommendation in Bulgaria: the conditions it misses are in the column above.

Developers, globally
Cloudflare Registrar
Industry-leading anycast DNS with deep developer tooling. Public API documented.
These two are the site’s global picks and are the same on every country page, which is why they are labelled globally and sit outside the table above. Nothing about a registrar’s API or its support channels changes at a border; what does change is language, billing currency and whether it can sell the local namespace, and that is what the eligibility table measures.
Local presence: Effectively yes for foreign entities. Companies and organisations registered abroad must authorise a third party who meets the requirements applying to local entities. All supporting documents must be in Bulgarian or English, or licensed translations into one of those working languages.

Terms published on 1 August 2024 and effective 1 September 2024 cap an applicant at 40 requested names and 40 waiting-list entries. Eligibility is evidenced by documents rather than asserted at checkout, so allow for a review step.
Purpose: Bulgaria's country code, the standard identity for Bulgarian businesses.
Eligibility: Effectively restricted for foreign registrants. Companies and organisations registered abroad must authorise a third party who satisfies the requirements applying to local entities. All documents must be in Bulgarian or English, or licensed translations.
Tracked registrars that sell .bg
None of the registrars we track sell .bg at retail: it's available only through registry-accredited registrars (see Local registry and rules above for the official list).

Compared across the 11 registrars whose .com price we have read ourselves.
Most global registrars price domains in USD; local registrars often invoice in EUR.
Can a registrar we track handle Bulgaria?
No registrar whose prices we verify sells any of the ccTLDs on this page, so a local or specialist registrar is the only route to them. A global registrar can still hold the .com, which renews from $10.18 at the cheapest seller we verify: many owners here run both.

Renewals are all-in and per year, at the cheapest registrar we verify for that extension, checked 2026-09-29. The .com reference is the cheapest verified .com renewal ($10.18). "Listed" counts registrars our country notes record as selling the extension without a price we have read ourselves.
What this page does not tell you: how the registrars based in Bulgaria compare. We do not track a single registrar based there, so any claim here that a local registrar is cheaper, better supported or easier to pay would be invention. Where local billing in Euro (EUR), local-language support, or a registry rule requires a local registrar, that is a reason to use one, and comparing them is work we have not done. Bulgaria also applies a local-presence or nexus requirement to at least one of its ccTLDs: see the registry rules above before assuming eligibility.
