About the .TC domain
What is the .TC domain?
Registration is open to individuals and companies from any country in the world, with no geographic restrictions: there is no need to incorporate a local company in the Turks and Caicos Islands or designate a contact in the territory, nor is holding a registered trademark required. Thanks to its letters, .tc has become popular beyond its geographic connection, adopted by tech companies that read it as an abbreviation for "tech company," "training center," or "technology consultant," while also taking advantage of the availability of short, memorable names compared to more saturated extensions like .com or .net. Names must be between 2 and 63 characters, and the minimum registration term is one year.
