Short answer
Both are Tanzanian domains run by tzNIC, the Tanzania Network Information Centre. .co.tz is the long-established address for businesses, while .tz is the shorter national domain (yourbrand.tz). Many businesses register both so customers find them either way.
| .co.tz | .tz | |
|---|---|---|
| Example | yourbrand.co.tz | yourbrand.tz |
| Best for | Businesses and companies | Short brand names, apps, campaigns |
| Registry | tzNIC | tzNIC |
When to choose .co.tz
Tanzanian customers have seen .co.tz on company websites for years, so it reads straight away as “a business in Tanzania”. It’s the familiar, safe choice for most businesses.
When to choose .tz
A .tz address is shorter and more modern, and a good name may still be free under .tz when the .co.tz is taken. It suits brands, startups, apps and campaigns.
Other Tanzanian extensions
tzNIC also runs second-level extensions such as .or.tz, .ne.tz and .ac.tz, some of them meant for particular kinds of organisations. If the registry asks for business details or documents for the extension you choose, our team tells you what to send.
Our advice: register the .co.tz of your name, add the .tz if it’s free, and point both to the same website. Search and compare prices on our domain registration page.
