For projects with Tanzania at their heart
Your Name, With a Tanzanian Identity.
From a travel itinerary to a community publication, .tz makes Tanzania part of the address itself. A direct name such as safarico.tz puts the project immediately before the country ending. This page serves Truehost UK customers exploring that Tanzanian identity; purchasing here does not turn .tz into a UK domain.
- Speak to a specific audience. Give Tanzanian customers, partners and readers a clear country connection before they open the site.
- Keep the address compact. Direct .tz leaves out the category found in longer endings such as .co.tz.
- Choose a name with a purpose. Match the spelling to your organisation, destination or service, rather than choosing an ending without a plan for it.

Direct name or category ending?
.tz, .co.tz or .com?
These options tell different stories. Direct .tz keeps the country connection short; .co.tz adds a commercial category; .com takes a country-neutral approach. Think about how people will discover your project and which address they will remember afterwards.

.tz Domain Management, Made Simple
Registering the name establishes the address; your configuration determines what happens next. Assign responsibility for website routing, mailbox records and account administration so changes do not get lost between different team members.
DNS management
When a site is ready, enter its host’s destination values. Test both the main address and any www version that visitors may use.
Nameserver control
A nameserver change moves responsibility for the DNS zone. Make sure the receiving service already contains the entries your project needs.
Renewal management
Record the renewal date alongside your project’s other commitments, with a named person responsible for checking that payment has completed.
Transfer support
Keep your administrative contact involved in a registrar move. Tanzania’s transfer-code process differs from the tag changes used for .uk names.
Support beyond choosing a name
Why Choose Truehost for Your .tz Domain?
A useful account makes routine upkeep easier. Use the available connection and administration features for your project, while checking any extension-specific restriction before assuming a setting works exactly as it does for another country domain.
One-click Cloudflare push
Connect Cloudflare through the available push tool where supported. Review the resulting DNS configuration before relying on it for a live project.
A Simple Starting Price
N/A / first year
Use the registration amount as an early budget input while you compare address options for Tanzania.
Renewal Without Guesswork
N/A / year
Include the separately displayed renewal cost in the project’s annual operating plan rather than relying on its opening-year budget.
Free DNS management
Adjust the zone entries for web traffic and ownership verification as your project adds platforms or changes suppliers.
Free email forwarding
Where forwarding is available, send mail arriving at a branded alias onward to a destination inbox. Outbound branded email normally needs a mailbox service.
2FA and domain lock
Enable an extra sign-in verification step and review the protection settings available for this registration. Keep recovery access with the responsible owner.
Free business email
A free mailbox offering is on the roadmap, not a service you can assume is active for a new .tz today.
Free website builder
The planned free builder is separate from the currently offered paid website products. Choose an available tool for an immediate launch.
Roadmap reminder: future email and builder features are not included deliverables in the present registration order. Make your launch plan around services already available.
From discovery to conversation
How to Use Your .tz Domain
Someone reading about your project might later request information or become a customer. Keep those destinations under a consistent Tanzanian identity, even if different tools handle publishing, enquiries and purchases.
- Welcome first-time visitors at safarico.tz.
- Receive itinerary questions at [email protected] using your chosen mail service.
- Separate a booking area at book.safarico.tz from partner material at partners.safarico.tz.

Build Around One Memorable Address
A prefix can explain the task a visitor is about to complete. Map those tasks before configuring the services, and avoid creating extra addresses that nobody is responsible for maintaining.
| Visitor Journey | Sample .tz Address | Suggested Content |

| Discover the project | safarico.tz | An introduction, destinations and enquiry information |
| Arrange a visit | book.safarico.tz | Dates, trip options and a booking enquiry |

.tz Domain Name Rules
Use a straightforward Latin-letter name and check it against the current registry conditions before ordering. Tanzania’s published rules prohibit consecutive hyphens as well as a hyphen at either end; do not apply a different extension’s format assumptions.
Suitable starting formats
Formats needing correction
Review .tz Spelling Examples
| Proposed Label | Naming Result | Why |
|---|---|---|
safarico.tz | Fits this format | Alphabetic label without special symbols |
safari-co24.tz | Fits this format | Uses one internal hyphen with letters and numbers |
-safarico.tz | Does not fit | The first character is a prohibited hyphen |
safari_co.tz | Does not fit | Replace the underscore with an allowed spelling |
Put the right holder on record
Your .tz Registration Checklist
The person or organisation intended to control the name should be recorded as its holder. If an agency submits the order, agree whose details belong on the registration and who will answer administrative queries. Confirm any documentation or applicant requirements before payment; the UK storefront is not evidence of unrestricted eligibility.
Information you need
What registration does not provide
Before you register
Check who will hold it
Where several partners are involved, settle ownership before submitting the order. A project name should not accidentally end up controlled solely by a departing contractor.
Check the name’s meaning
Consider how the word reads to your intended Tanzanian audience as well as overseas visitors. Avoid an address that misrepresents an affiliation, location or organisation.
Check the handover plan
Document where the registration account, DNS service and mailbox are managed. A simple handover record can prevent confusion when responsibility changes.

Keep visitors connected
What Happens If .tz Expires?
Mark the anniversary in your operating calendar and settle renewal before it arrives. A missed payment can remove the project from DNS, cutting off the website and mail destinations that depend on the name. Do not use a recovery period as your normal payment deadline.
Active
The address remains registered for its paid period. Keep renewal responsibility visible to the people running the project.
Renewal Due
Check the current renewal amount, N/A, and complete the order before the registration ends.
Expired
The registry’s published sequence starts with a 30-day expiry stage. Respond to the notices rather than waiting for a visible outage.
Suspended
The next 30-day stage removes the domain from DNS while retaining its registry record. Contact the registrar urgently about the options still available.
Cancelled
After the Out-of-zone stage, deletion removes the record and allows somebody else to register the name. Previous use does not reserve it for you.
Keep the project funded
Plan the Registration Beyond Year One
Treat duration as an order-specific choice, not a promise that .tz supports every period used by .uk. Review the options presented by the registration system. The planning rows below describe possible horizons only; their buttons open a search without selecting a number of years.
| Planning Horizon | Price Confirmation | Before Committing | Start Here |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 year | Check the selected option | Confirm whether a one-year order is offered | Begin a search and enquire about a 1-year term |
| 2 years | Check the selected option | Ask about a two-year commitment | Begin a search and enquire about a 2-year term |
| 3 years | Check the selected option | Check support for a three-year horizon | Begin a search and enquire about a 3-year term |
| 4 years | Check the selected option | Verify a four-year option before budgeting | Begin a search and enquire about a 4-year term |
| 5 years | Check the selected option | Confirm a five-year option is actually available | Begin a search and enquire about a 5-year term |
An existing Tanzania address
Already Have a .tz Domain?
A registrar change should begin with the recorded administrative contact. Obtain the registry transfer code through the authorised process and follow the receiving registrar’s instructions. Changing the registrar does not itself transfer your website files or mailboxes.
Transfer — N/A- 01
Verify the authorised contact
Check that the listed administrator can access the registration details and is entitled to request the move.
- 02
Obtain the registry code
TCRA directs the administrative contact to request the transfer code through Karibu.TZ or the registry. Keep that code private.
- 03
Arrange the receiving transfer
Submit the requested information to Truehost, confirm acceptance and test the existing destinations after completion. Do not use a UK IPS-tag instruction for .tz.
Before launching in Tanzania
.tz Domain FAQs
Questions about choosing the direct country ending, ordering through the UK storefront and keeping control of the registration.
What does the .tz ending tell visitors?
It identifies Tanzania’s country-code namespace. Direct .tz is useful when that geographic connection is central to a project’s identity, whether the audience is local, visiting from abroad or working with Tanzanian partners.
Is .tz another name for .co.tz?
No. The direct format places your label immediately before tz. The co.tz format adds a category between them. Check both independently if you want the same project name in each format, and compare the separate registration and renewal charges.
Why am I ordering a Tanzania domain from Truehost UK?
This is the UK storefront’s page for a Tanzanian domain extension. Your billing context and the domain’s country identity are different things: UK checkout does not change the registry governing the name or remove its application requirements.
Can a UK-based applicant register the name?
Check the application requirements with Truehost before committing funds, particularly if the holder or administrative contact is outside Tanzania. This page does not guarantee that every overseas applicant or reserved spelling will be accepted.
Will .tz automatically bring Tanzanian customers?
An address can communicate relevance, but visitors still need a reason to choose your site. Provide useful information, contact options and a clear explanation of the service. A country ending is not a substitute for promoting the project or serving its audience well.
Do I have to host the website in Tanzania?
Confirm any obligations relevant to your organisation or activity separately from the domain purchase. Technically, a domain connects to services through DNS; selecting .tz alone does not purchase server space or establish where your organisation’s data must be stored.
How do I avoid registering it in my developer’s name?
Agree the holder details in writing before the order is submitted. Ask for confirmation that the organisation or person who should control the address appears as registrant, and retain access to the account and administrative-contact inbox.
Can an unlaunched project still have a .tz address?
You can enquire about an available name while the project is being prepared. Do not assume the address is secured until the application is accepted and registration is confirmed. Plan the website separately from that administrative step.
What should happen to an older .co.tz website?
If you obtain a matching direct name, decide whether to keep the established address or make a planned transition. Avoid abandoning working links, customer contact details and mailboxes without a migration plan. A new .tz does not automatically move any existing content.
Why is my chosen name priced differently?
Some spellings or direct-name categories may have special conditions. Use the actual search and order response for the candidate, rather than assuming the general catalogue figure covers it. Request clarification when a price or requirement is unclear.
Does a transfer code need to be shared publicly?
No. Treat it as sensitive registration information and supply it only through the authorised transfer workflow. It is not website content and should never be published in DNS notes, support screenshots or a page about your business.
How can I protect continuity if a team member leaves?
Keep registration ownership with the intended holder, use a monitored administrative inbox and document access recovery. Review those arrangements during a staff or agency handover instead of waiting until renewal or an urgent DNS change exposes a gap.
