What is the .TR Extension? How to Buy .TR Domain?

The .TR is the country code domain extension of Turkey. The .TR, which is available for the registration as of September 14, 2023, is not a 2^nd level domain name extension such as COM.TR and .NET.TR.

For example, let's assume you had a domain name like abc.com.tr in the past. As of 2023, you will now be able to get the abc.tr address. Having the .COM.TR address registered under your name will ensure that you are given priority in registering the .TR extension.

The .TR extension, which can be used directly just like Australia's .AU, Canada's .CA, Germany's .DE country code extensions, will be open for the registration after 2023, provided that you meet the registration requirements. Currently, it is only possible for you to register by pre-ordering.

Will There Be a Priority Order in the .TR Registration Process?

Yes, there will be a priority order for the domain name registrations with the .TR extension. If you are wondering whether you have priority before 2024, you can check it from the list below:

The registration process for the .TR domain extension, which started on September 14, 2023, will start with the priority given to the public organizations. The public organizations will be able to directly apply for the .TR extension for their existing GOV.TR, EDU.TR, TSK.TR, BEL.TR, POL.TR, K12.TR domain names that they have previously registered, free of charge for 1 year.

Between 14 October 2023 and 14 November 2023, associations, the foundations and professional organizations registered with the ORG.TR will be able to register for the .TR domain.

After this period, the domain registration period with the .TR extension will begin for the .TR and other extension owners including 1. A.KEP.TR”, 2. “A.AV.TR”, 3. “A.DR.TR”, 4. “A.COM.TR”, 5. “A. ORG.TR”, 6. “A.NET.TR”, 7. “A.GEN.TR”, 8. “A.WEB.TR”, 9. “A.NAME.TR, 10. “A.İNFO”, 11. “A.TV.TR, 12. “A.BBS.TR, 13. “A.TEL.TR”.

What are the Advantages of Domain with the .TR Extension?

The .TR domain extension is shorter and faster than the .COM.TR that most people are already used to using. It is easier to remember and makes the web address shorter than longer-running domain names.

The .TR domain extension such as .tr, .org.tr, .gov.tr or .net.tr shows your company's commitment to the Turkish market and allows you to identify that you are a local business. This can help you build trust and credibility with your customers, by leading to increased customer loyalty and long-term success.

Registering a .TR domain name can also have a positive impact on your local search engine optimization (SEO) efforts. The search engines often prioritize the websites with the country-specific domain extensions in the local search results, by making it easier for the potential customers in Turkey to find your business online.

Additionally, most countries around the world have some form of the domain termination based on this model. This means people are more likely to search for your business on abc.tr than other options. So, if your Turkish business does not have a .TR domain extension, you can be missing out on the traffic or worse, your visitors can be diverting to your competitors.

What is the Difference Between the .COM.TR and .TR Domain Extension?

While there is no significant difference between the two domain name extensions, the .TR extension has been launched to expand Turkey domain name registration options and offer new and shorter options for the businesses looking for a domain name.

The .TR domain extension is much more ideal for the businesses looking to register a domain name based in Turkey and is a versatile alternative to the regular options previously available.

So Which Domain Name Extension Should You Register?

Both .TR and .COM.TR are the official domain extensions for Türkiye. Therefore, you can choose one of the domain names among abc.com.tr or abc.tr, but it is more ideal to register both.

Since the .TR domain name is newer, you can find more alternatives with this extension. Although the .COM.TR is currently still the first choice when choosing to register a domain name in Turkey, this situation will not last too long with the .TR registration process starting in 2023.

How to Buy a Domain with the .TR Extension?

The domains with the .TR extension are currently only guaranteed by pre-order. However, after 2023, it will be subject to the first-come, first-served rule, just like the .COM.TR. 

If you would like to pre-order, you can pre-order immediately from our .TR domain extension page by clicking on the link.

During the pre-registration process, you will be charged only the registration fee. If you are not given the domain name, this fee will be refunded to you without deduction.
