Buy .td Domain Name

The registry authority is ADETIC, the Chadian state agency responsible for information and communication technologies, based in N'Djamena. The IANA root zone record names that agency directly as the sponsoring organisation for .td, and both the administrative and the technical contact are ADETIC staff. The agency takes no applications itself: names are registered through registrars it accredits, and the registry lookup shows several distinct registrar identities. An order you place with Atak Domain is the last link in that chain — the party that files your name with the registry is the registrar acting for you.

Measurement shows registration from outside Chad works: on 15 August 2026 a share of the .td names queried were held through a France-based registrar and pointed at parking servers abroad. What could not be found is an accessible registry text currently in force setting out a local address or trustee requirement — ADETIC's rulebook is not published anywhere reachable today. For that reason we state no firm eligibility rule here. If you want the current requirement confirmed before you order, write to us from the contact page and we will check the registry's present practice for you.

The registry publishes nothing about the holder. In the answers taken from whois.nic.td on 15 August 2026 there was no holder name, organisation, address, phone number or email field at all. What you do see is the domain name, the registry object ID, the creation, update and expiry dates, the registrar's name, street address and email, the EPP status codes, the name servers and a DNSSEC flag. So your personal details stay out of the lookup even without a separate privacy service. You can read your own record on the whois search page.

No, the zone is unsigned. A DNS measurement on 15 August 2026 found no DS record for .td in the root zone, which means the top link of the chain of trust was never established. The registry lookup also prints a DNSSEC line for every record, and on every name queried the value came back as «unsigned». The practical consequence is that DNS answers for your .td name cannot be validated cryptographically. That makes it all the more worthwhile to protect the domain account with a strong password and two-step verification, and to lock critical records at your DNS provider.

Both sit with the same registry, ADETIC; the difference is the level and the state of actual use. .td is registered directly at the second level and that is the form in circulation. .com.td is a third-level space set aside for commercial use, and in the registry it is held and locked under ADETIC's own name. A measurement on 15 August 2026 found not a single name registered beneath it, so that space is effectively empty. If your aim is to secure your brand in the Chadian market, .td is the side to start with.

Measurement shows expired names stay in the registry. Among the .td records queried on 15 August 2026, several had a registration period that ran out years earlier, yet all of them were still listed and still flagged «active»; not one carried the redemption or pending-delete status codes familiar from generic extensions. No post-expiry timetable published by ADETIC could be found either. Two things follow for you: do not delay your renewal, because no measured recovery window exists to rescue a late payer, and do not wait for somebody else's expired name to drop.

Transfers run on the standard EPP flow and the registry supports them: the measurement on 15 August 2026 showed both records carrying the registrar-set clientTransferProhibited lock and records carrying no lock at all, so transfer is not switched off across the zone. The procedure has two steps: you have your current provider unlock the name and issue the authorisation code, then you hand that code to the new provider. Because no detailed transfer procedure published by ADETIC could be found, we make no firm promise on timing or fees. Start on the domain transfer page.
