Why choose a .tj domain name?

Branding:

.tj domain name will be a distinctive brand identifier among local and international internet users.

Global outreach:

Conventional .com and other top-level domains (TLDs) often convey an impression of limited global reach and/or association with a particular country outside of its target market.

A Tajikistan-specific TLD consequently maximizes global reach and appeal by avoiding the "geographic limitations" of a conventional TLD.

Local relevance:

A locally relevant domain name is important for national online identity, especially in a country where most people have limited knowledge about computers or do not regularly use them.

The local relevance that a .tj domain offers over a .com or other conventional TLD may prove valuable for many local, regional and international Tajik Internet users.

Easy to remember:

This domain is simple and easy to remember, making it an effective mode of online branding.

Native alphabet:

A Cyrillic alphabet makes the .tj domain name a familiar choice for native speakers of Tajik.

Availability:

.tj is available for registration on .TJ registry. You can register any name you want for your business, corporation, or personal use.
