.tf registration
.tf is the country-code extension for the French Southern and Antarctic Lands. It is particularly relevant to projects connected with the territory, French polar activity, scientific research, conservation, logistics, travel, or organisations seeking a short domain with a clear French association. Eligible applicants are individuals residing or organisations established in the European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, or Switzerland. Registration follows a first-come, first-served process without a separate registry application procedure. The chosen label must contain between 3 and 63 characters. .tf supports standard Latin names and a range of accented characters, including à, é, ñ, ö, ü, œ, and ß. This allows organisations and individuals to register names closer to their correct spelling. A holder change requires confirmation by both the current and future holders within five days; it does not alter the domain’s expiry date. To transfer an existing .tf domain to host.yt, remove the transfer lock and request the authorisation code from the current registrar. Processing can take several days. Once the transfer is completed, one year is added to the domain’s existing expiry date.

Frequently asked questions
What does the .tf extension stand for?
tf is the country-code domain extension assigned to the French Southern and Antarctic Lands, known in French as the Terres australes et antarctiques françaises. It gives websites a direct association with this French overseas territory and can also suit scientific, environmental, logistical, or polar-related projects.
Who can register a .tf domain?
Individuals residing and organisations established in the European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, or Switzerland can register .tf domains. Names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, provided the chosen domain is available and the registrant meets the applicable geographic eligibility requirement.
Are documents or special registration steps required for .tf?
tf registration does not involve a separate registry application procedure. The registrant must provide accurate holder and contact information and satisfy the geographic eligibility rules. A name must be available, contain between 3 and 63 characters, and comply with the registry’s general naming requirements.
Is .tf a good choice, and what projects suit it?
tf is a focused choice for projects associated with the French Southern and Antarctic Lands, polar science, conservation, maritime logistics, research programmes, or French territorial interests. Its geographic meaning provides useful context, while the extension’s relative rarity can help create a concise and memorable web address.
When does .tf make more sense than .com?
Choose .tf when a project’s connection to the French Southern and Antarctic Lands, French polar activity, or related research is central to its identity. Choose .com for broad international commercial recognition. .tf offers stronger geographic meaning, while .com is more familiar to general audiences worldwide.
How quickly is .tf registered, and how long does it last?
tf registrations are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis after the order and registry checks are completed. Processing time can vary. host.yt displays the applicable registration term and resulting expiry information during the order process, allowing you to review them before confirming the registration.
How do I transfer a .tf domain to host.yt?
Disable the transfer protection at your current registrar and obtain the domain’s authorisation code. Submit that code with the transfer request to host.yt. Completion may take several days. When the transfer finishes, one year is added to the existing expiry date, so the remaining registration time is retained.
