Bottom line
Over 3 years, Above.com is the cheapest to keep, at $21.33.
.be is Belgium's country-code domain. It was added to the root zone on 5 August 1988, and most Belgian companies, public bodies, shops, and families use it online.
DNS Belgium manages .be. It's a non-profit association based in Leuven, and it also runs the regional extensions .brussels and .vlaanderen. DNS Belgium keeps the central database and sets the rules, but it doesn't sell names to the public. You buy a .be name through a registrar.
Anyone can register a .be name, from any country. You don't need to live in Belgium or have a Belgian company, and names are given out on a first-come, first-served basis.
You do need to give correct contact details. DNS Belgium checks for fake or abusive registrations, and if yours is flagged, you may be asked to prove who you are. If you can't, they can suspend the name.
Belgian businesses and residents are the main users, and international brands use .be for their Belgian websites, often with French and Dutch versions. Some people outside Belgium also use it for wordplay, because "be" is an English verb.
.be covers the whole country, while .brussels and .vlaanderen point to a region, so they suit organisations that want a local identity within Belgium. Most Belgian businesses stick with .be because everyone knows it.
Since registration is open worldwide, a .be address doesn't by itself mean a business is based in Belgium.
