.tf domain information
Here you will find all the information related to .tf domains.
.tf is the country-code top-level domain (ccTLD) for the French Southern Territories.
Reasons to register a .tf domain
.tf domains can be registered by any person residing within the territory of the European Union, or by entities with their headquarters located in a Member State of the European Union.
Registering a .tf domain
To register a .tf domain, you can visit our website. You have a tutorial explaining the steps to register a domain.
Restrictions when registering .tf domains:
- .tf domains can have a maximum of 63 characters and a minimum of 2.
- Any citizen with nationality from one of the European Union member countries, regardless of country of residence, can register a .tf domain.
- Any company, corporation, or association based in a country that is part of the European Union has the right to register a .tf domain.
- The accepted characters for domain registration are: a-z, special characters ( ß, à, á, â, ã, ä, å, æ, ç, è, é, ê, ë, ì, í, î, ï, ñ, ò, ó, ô, õ, ö, ù, ú, û, ü, ý, ÿ, œ ), 0-9, and hyphen "-". The "-" cannot be the first or last character of the domain name, and two or more hyphens in a row are not allowed.
Restrictions when renewing .tf domains:
- A .tf domain can be renewed at any time.
- A .tf domain can be renewed for a maximum period of 1 year.
Restrictions when transferring .tf domains:
- .tf domains cannot be transferred if they are expired.
- To initiate the transfer of a .tf domain, the AUTHCODE is required.
- During the transfer, the domain contacts are modified, which resets the expiration date from the moment the registrar change takes effect. Therefore, it is advised to initiate the transfer when the domain is close to its expiration.
Since domains have an expiration date, they go through different phases or periods. This lifecycle is established by ICANN, the entity responsible for the regulations applicable to domains. In the following graphic we show you the lifecycle of a .tf domain and its states.
- Available domain: the domain has not been registered yet, therefore it is available. When a registration request is submitted, the domain is assigned to the first request received.
- Registered domain: when a request is sent for an available domain, it is assigned to the requester. When submitting a registration request, it can be registered for 1 year.
- Active domain: the domain will remain active for the registration year. During this period, it can be extended for one more year starting 2 months before the expiration date to prevent expiration.
- Redemption period: this period lasts 30 days, during which the domain has been deleted but can still be restored and renewed at a higher price than the normal renewal.
- Pending delete period: the domain cannot be restored and will be released.
