Expired .TN Domains

Who can own a .tn domain name?

A .tn domain name is the best option if you want your website to be associated with Tunisia. However, you can register a .com or a .org domain in order to have more options available.

There are various third-level domains that can be registered under a .tn domain. Most of them include words such as travel, blog, or shopping which are generic but also relevant to customers in Tunisia.

There are three types of second-level .tn domain names:

· COM.TN – Commercial entity (commercial )

· ORG.TN – Organization or association (Organisme, association ou ONG)

· NET.TN – Network related websites (Ressource relation du reseau)

Anyone can own a .tn domain name. However, the Tunisian government owns two-letter second-level domains (such as TN.TN and TS.TN).

Second level suffixes starting with numbers are reserved to the Government; they might be used in the future but nothing prevents anyone from owning such a domain name.

How can I register a .tn domain name?

You can register your .tn domains through various registrars. A list of the most popular and reliable is available here:

If you are unsure, it is best to choose a registrar recommended by the .tn Registry. Most of them will require that you have an official document proving you are in charge of your entity before they allow you to register your domain name.

Domain names cannot be bought for one specific person. A person can buy a domain, but he/she has to be the owner of the entity for whom he/she is buying it.

Who controls the .TN domain names?

The Tunisian Internet Agency (ATI) is the manager of all ".tn" domains. It was created in 1994 and its main goal is to implement policies for the development of Information Technologies in Tunisia.

Why choose a .tn domain?

If you want your website to be associated with Tunisia, then a .tn domain will help do exactly that.

You might also want to use one of the many available second-level domains such as travel, business, or music which are not only relevant but can also support your web presence in Tunisia.

A .tn domain name is an easy way to reach your target market if your company's website focuses on Tunisia.

Furthermore, Tunisians are familiar with that extension and they can easily find what they are looking for.

Also, it ensures that all the links on your website stay active, unlike international .com or .org domains.
