Common questions
.co.tz Domain FAQs
Straightforward answers on registration, pricing, eligibility, DNS, transfers and what happens at expiry for Tanzania’s commercial domain category.
What is a .co.tz domain?
It is the commercial category under Tanzania’s country-code top-level domain. Names take the form yourname.co.tz and are intended mainly for businesses and commercial entities.
How much does a .co.tz domain cost at Truehost?
Current prices on this page are TSh 38,974 for a new registration, TSh 33,800 for renewal and TSh 33,800 for a transfer. The final amount appears at checkout.
Should I choose .co.tz or direct .tz?
Choose .co.tz when the traditional commercial format better matches customer expectations or company rules. Choose direct .tz when you want the shortest possible Tanzanian address. The two endings are separate registrations.
Do I need a Tanzanian company to register .co.tz?
The category is aimed at commercial use. Always check the latest TCRA/Karibu guidance for any local-presence or documentation requirements that may apply at the time of registration.
Can I create email addresses on a .co.tz domain?
Yes. Point the domain to a compatible email service and create addresses such as [email protected].
Can the website be hosted outside Tanzania?
Yes. Update the nameservers or individual DNS records to the values given by your chosen hosting provider.
For how many years can I register a .co.tz domain?
Available terms are shown during checkout. One-year and multi-year options are commonly offered, subject to registry and registrar policy.
Which characters are allowed in a .co.tz name?
Unaccented letters, numbers and internal hyphens are accepted. Spaces, underscores, other punctuation and leading or trailing hyphens are not allowed.
Does registering .co.tz also give me the matching .tz?
No. Each extension must be registered separately. Search both versions if you want control of the parallel names.
Who operates the .co.tz registry?
The Tanzania Communications Regulatory Authority (TCRA) runs the wider .tz namespace, including the commercial category. Truehost handles search, registration, billing, account tools and support on this page.
What happens after a .co.tz domain expires?
Under current TCRA guidance the post-expiry grace period is short. After that window the domain may move Out-of-Zone and stop resolving. Renew early to avoid any interruption.
