.TZ Domain Extensions: What They Mean & How Much They Cost (2025 Guide)

If you’re launching a website in Tanzania, choosing the right .tz domain extension is one of the first — and most important — steps. At Netpoa, we make domain registration simple, fast, and affordable. This guide will help you understand the different types of .tz domains available and how much each one costs in 2025.


Why Use a .TZ Domain?

A .tz domain tells your audience that your website is registered in Tanzania — giving it local trust, legal recognition, and strong branding power. Whether you’re a business, school, NGO, or a government agency, there’s a .tz extension designed just for your type of organization.

All .tz domains are regulated by the Tanzania Communications Regulatory Authority (TCRA) through TZNIC.
