How Your .com Domain Can Work
A single .com name can power your public website, branded email, online store and client portal. Subdomains and DNS records keep each service organised under the same commercial identity.
- Publish the main site at yourbrand.com.
- Create professional addresses such as [email protected].
- Run separate services on shop.yourbrand.com or portal.yourbrand.com.
One brand, several services
Organise Everything Under One Address
Use the main domain for the public face of your business and subdomains for specialised tools.
| Service | Example address | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Main website | yourbrand.com |

Always renew before the expiry date if you want to keep the name. Under current policy there is a grace period after expiry; once it ends the domain can enter redemption and later become available again.
Active
The domain and all connected services operate normally. Keep contact and billing details up to date.
Renewal Due
Renew at TSh 30,888 before the expiry date to avoid any interruption.
Expired
A grace period may still allow standard renewal under current policy.
Redemption
Services stop resolving. Recovery options and fees depend on the domain’s exact registry status.
Released
If the name is not recovered it may become available again and can be registered by someone else.

Common questions
.com Domain FAQs
Practical answers on global commercial domain registration, pricing, eligibility, DNS, transfers and expiry.
What exactly is a .com domain?
It is the original commercial top-level domain and the most widely recognised web address on the internet. .com is used by businesses, brands and projects of every size worldwide.
How much does a .com domain cost at Truehost?
The live prices displayed on this page are TSh 20,150 for a new registration, TSh 30,888 for renewal and TSh 29,172 for a transfer. The final amount is confirmed at checkout.
Is .com better than .tz or .co.tz for my project?
Choose .com when you want universal recognition and a global commercial address. Choose direct .tz for the shortest Tanzanian address, or .co.tz when a local commercial format better matches your audience. Each ending is registered independently.
Who should register a .com domain?
Businesses, start-ups, personal brands, e-commerce stores, agencies and anyone who wants the most recognised commercial web address. Registration is open to everyone.
Can I create email addresses on my .com domain?
Yes. Point the domain to a compatible email provider and create addresses such as [email protected].
Can I host the website with a different provider?
Yes. Update the nameservers or individual DNS records to the values supplied by your chosen hosting platform.
How many years can I register a .com domain for?
Available terms are shown during checkout. One-year and multi-year options (commonly up to 10 years) are offered, subject to registry and registrar rules.
Which characters are allowed in a .com name?
Use unaccented letters, numbers and hyphens placed inside the name. Spaces, underscores, other punctuation and a hyphen at either end are not accepted.
Does buying .com also give me the matching .tz?
No. Each extension is a separate registration. Search both versions if you want to control the matching brand names.
Who operates the .com registry?
Verisign operates the .com registry. Truehost handles search, registration, billing, account tools and customer support for the domains sold on this page.
What happens after a .com domain expires?
Under current policy there is a grace period after expiry during which standard renewal is often still possible. After that the domain may enter a redemption period and later become available again. Renew early to avoid any service interruption.
