History
The .bh domain was first delegated in 1994 to the University of Bahrain Computer Center. In 1999, the domain was delegated to the Bahrain Telecommunications Company, which since remains the sponsoring organisation.2012-01-08 Redelegation of the .BH domain representing Bahrain to the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority https://www.iana.org/reports/2012/bh-report-20120108.html live https://web.archive.org/web/20220513060133/http://www.iana.org/reports/2012/bh-report-20120108.html 2022-05-13 2022-12-10 IANA
