.tl registration
.tl is the country-code domain extension for Timor-Leste. It suits organizations, businesses, public initiatives, and personal projects connected with the country, as well as anyone seeking a short and distinctive web address. Names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, without a special registration procedure. A .tl domain label may contain between 1 and 63 characters. Before placing an order, check that the name is available and enter accurate registrant and contact information. Once registered, the domain can support a website, branded email addresses, forwarding, DNSSEC, and other standard domain-management functions offered through host.yt. To transfer an existing .tl domain to host.yt, first remove the registrar lock or other transfer protection at the current registrar. You must also request the domain’s authorization code and provide it when starting the transfer. Processing may take several days. After the transfer is completed, one year is added to the domain’s current expiration date. A change of registrant is handled through a separate holder-change process; contact host.yt for instructions relevant to your domain.

When does .tl make more sense than .com?

Registration can proceed after the order is submitted successfully and the requested name passes the availability check. The applicable registration term and renewal options are shown during ordering through host.yt. Renew before the displayed expiration date to keep the domain active.
How do I transfer a .tl domain to host.yt?
Disable the registrar lock or any other transfer protection at your current registrar, then request the domain’s authorization code. Submit that code with your transfer order at host.yt. Completion can take several days, and one year is added to the domain’s expiration date once the transfer finishes.
