It was announced by TCRA (the Tanzanian Registry), that the .tz direct domain extension will launch on 1 March 2022. Previously, domains were only available at the third-level (e.g. lexsynergy.co.tz). Now domains will be available at the second-level (e.g. lexsynergy.tz).
Priority For Current Third-Level Domain Owners
For the first three months of the .tz launch, owners of third-level domains such as co.tz, or.tz and mobi.tz domains will be eligible to register the exact matching .tz domain.
We strongly recommend that you register the corresponding .tz domains during this priority phase. Registering your name or trade mark in this new extension will help you to protect your brand online, as owning both the co.tz and .tz domains will form part of a defensive domain registration strategy.
