A domain extension, also known as a Top-Level Domain (TLD), is the part of a domain name that appears after the dot, such as .com, .co.tz, or .tz. Domain extensions help identify the purpose, audience, or geographic location of a website.
At Truehost, we provide access to a wide range of global and Tanzania-specific domain extensions, allowing individuals, businesses, and institutions to register domains that align with their goals and local requirements.
What are Domain Extensions in Tanzania
In Tanzania, domain registration includes both international extensions and country-code domains governed by local regulations. Country-specific extensions such as .co.tz and .tz operate under policies set by the Tanzania Communications Regulatory Authority (TCRA), ensuring proper use and national trust.
Choosing the right domain extension helps establish credibility, improve brand recognition, and ensure compliance when operating locally.

How to Choose the Right Domain Extension
When selecting a domain extension, consider the following factors:
- Compliance Requirements: Some Tanzania-specific domain extensions may have registration requirements governed by TCRA policies.
- Audience Location: If your audience is primarily in Tanzania, a local extension such as .co.tz or .tz builds trust and relevance.
- Website Purpose: Commercial sites often use .co.tz or .com, while institutions may require specialized extensions like .ac.tz.
- Brand Strategy: A global brand may prefer .com, while a locally focused brand benefits from a country-code domain.
