.tz registration
.tz is Tanzania’s country-code domain extension. It suits businesses, organizations, services, and individuals that want a clear connection with Tanzania. Registrations follow a first-come, first-served model without a special registry procedure. The chosen label must contain between 3 and 63 characters. To register a .tz domain, search for an available name and submit the registration through host.yt. Availability matters because an eligible name can be allocated to the first completed request. Choose a concise label that reflects your organization, service, campaign, or local presence. Transferring an existing .tz domain requires you to disable the transfer protection at your current registrar and obtain the domain’s authorization code. Submit that code to host.yt to begin the transfer. Completion can take several days, and one year is added to the domain’s existing expiry date when the transfer is finalized. A change of holder follows a separate authentication process. Validation emails are sent to both the current holder and the proposed new holder, and both parties must act within five days before the request is cancelled. The ownership change does not alter the domain’s expiry date. Through host.yt, .tz domains can also support routine management such as DNS updates, DNSSEC records, renewal, registrar locking, restoration, and web or email forwarding.

Frequently asked questions
What does the .tz extension stand for?
tz is the country-code domain extension associated with Tanzania. It gives a website or online service a recognizable Tanzanian identity, making it especially relevant for local businesses, institutions, community projects, public information, and international organizations operating in or addressing the Tanzanian market.
Who can register a .tz domain?
tz registration is open to individuals, businesses, and organizations. Names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, so the requested domain must still be available when the registration is submitted. The chosen label must be between 3 and 63 characters long.
Are there restrictions or required documents for registering .tz?
There is no special registration procedure or document-validation step for a standard .tz registration. The domain must be available, the label must contain 3 to 63 characters, and the request is handled on a first-come, first-served basis through host.yt.
Is .tz a good choice, and what projects is it suited to?
tz is a practical choice for projects with a clear Tanzanian connection. It works well for local companies, professional services, tourism projects, regional campaigns, community organizations, and informational websites that want visitors to recognize their geographic focus directly from the domain name.
When does .tz make more sense than .com?
tz makes more sense when Tanzanian relevance is central to the project and you want the domain itself to communicate that focus. .com is more globally neutral and familiar, while .tz provides a stronger local signal but may be less immediately recognized by audiences outside Tanzania.
How quickly is a .tz domain registered, and how long does it last?
tz names are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis after a valid registration request is processed. The applicable registration term and expiry date are confirmed with the order. Keep renewal enabled or renew before that date to maintain control of the domain.
How do I transfer a .tz domain to host.yt?
Disable the domain’s transfer protection at your current registrar and request its authorization code. Provide that code when starting the transfer to host.yt. The process may take several days. Once the transfer is finalized, one year is added to the domain’s existing expiry date.
