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.
.tz: registration 52.00 USD (researched ≈ $52.00); renewal TSh 143,000 (researched ≈ $55.00) per year.
| Term | Total Price | Savings vs Annual Renewal | Action |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 year | ≈ $52.00 | No saving | Search domains |
| 2 years | ≈ $107.00 | No saving | Search domains |
| 3 years | ≈ $162.00 | No saving | Search domains |

Who can register a .tz domain?
Registration is open to anyone with a demonstrable intent to use the domain on the internet. Vanity and placemark registrations are not permitted. No local presence in Tanzania is required for the second-level .tz extension.
Should I choose .tz or .co.tz?
Choose .tz for a clean national identity or brand presence. Choose .co.tz when you represent a commercial business that needs the traditional third-level commercial ending. Each ending is registered separately.
Can I use .tz for email?

Can I host the website with another provider?
Yes. Point the domain to the nameservers or DNS records supplied by the compatible hosting provider.
How long can I register a .tz domain?
Available terms are shown during checkout (commonly 1–2 years at registry level). Multi-year options may be offered depending on current catalogue settings.
Which characters can I use in a .tz name?
Use unaccented letters, numbers and internal hyphens. Spaces, underscores, other punctuation and a hyphen at either end are not accepted.
Does registering .tz include other extensions?
No. The .tz name is a separate registration. Search matching .co.tz, .com or other endings if brand protection matters.
Who manages .tz domains?
The Tanzania Communications Regulatory Authority (TCRA) / tzNIC operates the .tz namespace. Truehost provides the search, registration, billing, account management and customer support used on this page.
What happens when a .tz domain expires?
