.com.tt Domain: Trinidad and Tobago's Commercial Space
.com.tt is the third-level commercial space beneath .tt, the country extension of Trinidad and Tobago, whose parent zone entered the root on 3 September 1991. Both are managed from Port of Spain by TTNIC, which appears on its own pages as The Trinidad and Tobago Network Information Centre; it is a company incorporated under the laws of the country and a member of the ccNSO within the ICANN structure. DNS measurement shows com.tt is not a separate delegation and that queries are answered from inside the .tt zone: there is no separate rulebook, no separate site and no separate set of name servers.
The «com» label here is a reading rather than a gate: the registry's policy text asks for no commercial activity, capacity or evidence at .com.tt, and the only level-specific restrictions lie outside this space, with the education space reserved for schools in the country and the government space handled by the state body. Nationality, residence and local address are not required either, priority goes to whoever applies first, and the registry offers no pre-registration. Of the eight third-level spaces on offer it is .co.tt that the application form preselects, while .tt is the short second-level form in the same zone.
The term here is not a range but a fixed three-year block: the agreement states that the first registration and every renewal each cover three years, so one-year and two-year registrations do not exist. Measurement agrees, as recent records in the registry's lookup expire exactly three years after the day they were created. Sixty days before expiry the renewal invoice arrives, a second reminder follows a week out, and the invoice must be settled on or before the expiry date; no grace or redemption period is published.

.com.tt Domain Lifecycle
What happens day by day after it expires
Day 0 is the domain's expiry dateIn short: for .com.tt the post-expiry timeline is set by the registry, so it differs from one extension to the next. The diagram below shows the windows that actually apply to .com.tt, day by day. One thing never changes, whichever extension you hold: renewing before the expiry date is always the cheapest and safest route.
Domain Is Available (Available)
A .com.tt address at this stage has not been taken yet, and it goes to whoever registers first. Check the name you have in mind — if it is free, it can be yours within minutes.
Domain Is Active (Active Period)
Once registration is complete, the domain is registered to you for the term you selected. You can renew at any point before it expires to keep it active, or switch on auto-renewal so you never have to watch the date.
Domain Is Available Again
Once deletion completes, the domain leaves the system and anyone can register it — popular names are often taken the same minute by someone watching. Keep auto-renewal on so a name you care about never gets this far.

Frequently Asked Questions About .com.tt Domains
The questions people actually ask before registering — answered plainly.
-
No. The registry's policy text carries only two level-specific restrictions and both fall outside this space: the education space is reserved for educational institutions in Trinidad and Tobago, and applications in the government space go directly through the country's information and communication technology body. Nothing asks a .com.tt applicant for a commercial capacity, a line of business, a trademark or any documentary evidence. The fields on the application form bear that out: the name, the holder's name and postal address, a country code, four contact email addresses and the name servers. So «com» here is not an eligibility gate but a choice about how the name reads internationally.
-
In three-year blocks. The fee clause of the agreement states that the registration fee covers a period of three years from the date of initial registration and that each successive renewal fee covers a further three years; the registry's fee table applies a different band by level but does not change the term. The registration flow chart on the home page carries a three-year decision step as well. Measurement was taken on this extension directly: in the registry's lookup, a .com.tt record created two years ago expires exactly three years after the day it was created. In practice there is no one-year or two-year registration; the term moves in three, six and nine.
-
No grace period is published, so in practice nothing is held for you. Sixty days before expiry the registry sends notice and the renewal invoice, a second reminder reaches the administrative contact about a week out, and the invoice must be paid on or before the expiry date. The agreement states that if the fee is not paid in time the registry may, at its sole discretion, cancel the registration and deny access to the name without prior notice, and that after termination it is entitled to register the name to another person. The thirty-day grace plus redemption chain familiar from generic extensions appears in none of the registry's documents. Settle the invoice early rather than on the day.
-
The level. .tt is registered directly at the second level and is shorter; .com.tt sits at the third level inside the same zone. The registry runs both under the same agreement, the same policy text and the same three-year term, and eligibility, the dispute regime and what gets published are identical. DNS measurement shows the two are technically one zone: com.tt has no delegation of its own, no name servers of its own and no signature record of its own, and queries are answered from inside .tt. The choice is not a matter of rules but of length and reading: .tt points straight at the country, .com.tt reads commercial to an international audience.
-
In terms of rules, none. Both are among the eight third-level spaces the same registry offers, both fall under the same agreement and the same policy text, both run on the same three-year term, and neither asks for proof of commercial capacity. The only measurable difference is habit: it is .co.tt, not .com.tt, that the registry's application form preselects in its extension list. Certificate transparency records also point to .co.tt being the more common choice in local use. Against that, .com.tt is the form a reader outside the country recognises as commercial at first glance, and holding both is possible, since one does not block the other.
-
No, and the ban is explicit. The registry's policy text puts it in one sentence: a registered name is for the holder alone, and sub-domains beneath it may not be provided to third parties whether free or for a fee. You therefore cannot turn your name into a sub-domain service, a reseller network or a hosting space opened to your own customers. Departments and hosts within your own organisation are of course not caught by this; you define them freely on your own name servers and never apply to the registry for them. The same text also governs link shortening: shortcuts must be filtered against inappropriate content, or the name is cancelled outright.
-
Only the holder's name and the servers of the domain. The agreement limits what the registry may make public to exactly those two items, the privacy policy repeats that limit, and it states that nothing beyond it is sold or redistributed. Measurement was taken on .com.tt records directly and the output matches: the domain, the registrant's name, the creation and expiry dates, the name servers and the status are visible, while the address and the administrative, technical and billing contacts all come back redacted. There is no privacy product to buy and none is needed. Check your own record on the whois search page.
-
In order: the name is checked, the application reaches the registry, the registry approves it and issues an invoice by email, and the domain becomes active only once payment arrives. The agreement states plainly that until the fee is received the registry has no obligation to activate the name or enter it in the register. A new application invoice runs for fifteen days, and the registry states in its own FAQ that it deletes applications once the due date has passed. Rejected applications are notified within two business days. One point is worth knowing upfront: the registry has no refund policy, and fees are not returned even if a registration is later suspended or cancelled.
-
ICANN's Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy, the UDRP. Because the agreement defines a domain name as one «ending in .tt», names at the third level fall under the same regime. The text sets the dispute policy as the UDRP itself, binds the registrant to it, and states that a later change by ICANN will also be binding. The registry is obliged to implement the decision of a UDRP administrative panel just as it implements an order of a competent court or arbitral tribunal. No separate local complaint procedure run by the registry is published. The governing law is that of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, and the forum is the country's courts.
