Just because there are only a few new extensions left to be launched does not mean that new registration opportunities are drying up!
A different continent but a similar launch program: after Australia, it’s Tanzania’s turn to open the registration of its national extension “.TZ” at the second level.
Since March 1st 2022, it is possible to register a domain name directly under “.TZ”, and not necessarily under one of the proposed sub-domains such as “.CO.TZ”.
From March 1st to May 31st: First priority phase
- During this period, only the following will be eligible to register a .TZ domain name
- Holders of a domain name registered prior to March 1st 2022 under the .CO.TZ, .OR.TZ or .MOBI.TZ
- Holders of a registered trademark that does not need to be local
These applicants will be able to apply for the registration of a name corresponding to the domain, or to the trademark held.
From 1st to 30th June: Priority to new holders
- During this phase, only holders of a domain name registered under a sub-domain between March 1st and May 31st 2022 will be able to apply for the registration of the corresponding domain name under .TZ.
- In case of multiple applications for the same domain name during the same period, priority will be given to the first applicant.
From 1 July 2022 :
- Open to all on a “first come, first served” basis
Abolition of local presence
- From now on it will no longer be necessary to have any local presence, making the extension open to all, without restriction.
