Plan the Registration Beyond Year One

A longer registration can reduce the number of renewal transactions while you build. The table uses priced catalogue terms rather than multiplying an introductory offer. Any saving is measured against today’s annual-registration-and-renewal path, not a guaranteed future rate.

Current catalogue prices. Savings compare the total with one year of registration plus annual renewals at today’s rates. Future renewal rates may change. Only available priced terms are listed.
.tech: registration TSh 18,980 (researched ≈ $9.23); renewal TSh 231,166 (researched ≈ $59.27) per year.

Who can register a .tech domain?

Anyone. .tech is an unrestricted gTLD — individuals, startups, companies and organisations worldwide can register without eligibility documents.

Should I choose .tech or .io?

Can I host the website with another provider?

Yes. Point the domain to the nameservers or DNS records supplied by the compatible hosting provider.

Use unaccented letters, numbers and internal hyphens. Spaces, underscores, other punctuation and a hyphen at either end are not accepted. Internationalised domain names (IDNs) are supported.

Does registering .tech include other extensions?

No. The .tech name is a separate registration. Search matching .com, .io or other endings if brand protection matters.

Who manages .tech domains?

Radix Technologies Inc. operates the .tech registry (with Tucows as backend). Truehost provides the search, registration, billing, account management and customer support used on this page.

What happens when a .tech domain expires?
