Buy .tt Domain Name

No. Neither the agreement nor the policy text asks a .tt applicant for nationality, residence, a local address, an agent or a trustee; the holder's address only affects how the registry prices the name, not whether the application is accepted. Priority is purely chronological: the agreement states that names are assigned to whoever applies first and says plainly that the registry offers no pre-registration and no reservation. Against that, the registry keeps an absolute discretion to refuse an application and undertakes to notify a rejected applicant within two business days. That makes complete, accurate application details as important as the name being free.

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 own fee table repeats it with the wording «includes 3 years maintenance» and «every 3 years from year 4», and the registration flow chart on the home page carries a three-year decision step. In practice that means there is no one-year or two-year .tt registration: the term moves in three, six and nine. Measurement agrees; in the registry's public lookup, recent records expire exactly three years after the day they were created.

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.

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, and the privacy policy repeats the same limit and states that nothing further is sold or redistributed. The measured output of the registry's public lookup matches: you see the domain, the registrant's name, the creation and expiry dates, the name servers and the status, while the address and the administrative, technical and billing contacts all come back marked as redacted. There is also no privacy product to buy, and none is needed, since everything beyond the name is withheld by default. Check your own record on the whois search page.

The level. .tt is registered directly at the second level, while .com.tt sits at the third level inside the same zone and is one of the eight third-level spaces the registry offers. Both run under the same agreement, the same policy text and the same three-year term, and the «com» label carries no requirement to evidence commercial activity. DNS measurement shows the two are technically one zone: com.tt has no delegation of its own and queries are answered from inside .tt. The choice is largely about length and reading: .tt is the short form tied directly to the country, .com.tt the form an international reader recognises as commercial.

Letters, digits and the hyphen, and nothing else. The registry's policy text closes the permitted set in a single sentence and adds two limits: a name may not begin with a hyphen and may not exceed sixty-three characters. Other punctuation is refused; in measurement, queries containing an underscore or leading with a hyphen returned an invalid domain name format response from the registry's search screen. There is no support for local scripts either: a query carrying accented characters is rejected the same way, and the registry publishes no IDN table, converter or variant mechanism. Plan any non-Latin brand in a simplified spelling before you order.

Yes, but the step is manual. Measurement confirms the .tt zone is signed at the root: it carries a valid DS record and validating resolvers accept the answer as authenticated. The registry's own FAQ says so directly: DNSSEC has been deployed and the registry can offer support for its subdomains, but a holder who wants a DS record added has to contact the registry. Neither the application form nor the modification form has a DS or DNSKEY field, so this is not a self-service operation. Actual use is sparse: none of the records measured carried a published DS record. Send the request from the contact 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. The agreement defines the dispute policy as the UDRP itself, binds the registrant to it, and states that a later change made 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, and no filing fee for one, is published. The agreement is governed by the law of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, and the registrant consents to the jurisdiction of the country's courts without prejudice to other applicable forums.
