TCRA, the Registry running the .TZ country code Top Level Domain (ccTLD) for Tanzania, located in East Africa, has decided to allow the registration of domain names directly under .TZ.
Like the Australian Registry did on 24 March 2022 (see our earlier publication under Related Materials), the Tanzanian Registry is opening up domain name registrations directly under its top level. Up until now, registrations were only possible under second level extensions such as .CO.TZ, .OR.TZ, .ME.TZ, etc.
.TZ applications can be submitted according to specific Priority Categories, and a two-phased Grandfathering period is taking place in order to enable existing registrants of Tanzanian domain names to apply for the corresponding domain names under .TZ.
The launch schedule is as follows:
Should there be several applicants for one .TZ domain name within the same Priority Category, then priority will be given to the applicant who registered his/her third level domain name first.
There are currently over 23,100 Tanzanian domain names registered, the vast majority being under the extension .CO.TZ. As with all launches directly at the top level, the opening of .TZ registrations should raise interest and boost the number of domain name registrations in the TLD.
