Global extensions, billed in TZS
Pair your local name with a global one if you sell across borders.
Included with every domain
No add-on fees for the basics you need to run a website and email.
Free DNS management
Add A, CNAME, MX and TXT records from your client area, including records for Google Workspace or Microsoft 365.
Nameserver control
Use Route Africa hosting or point the domain to any provider you like.
Transfer lock and auth codes
Lock the domain against unauthorised transfers and request its EPP code when you need to move it.
DNSSEC where supported
Sign the zone on extensions whose registry supports DNSSEC.
Privacy where permitted
Hide personal contact details from public lookups where registry policy allows it.
Renewal reminders
We email you ahead of expiry, so a lapsed card or changed number doesn't cost you the name.
From search to live domain in three steps
Open zones activate soon after payment. Zones with eligibility rules wait for the registry to accept your documents.
Search and pick
Check your name across .tz and global extensions, and add the ones you want to the cart.
Add hosting or email if you need it
Our web hosting plans from CloudNest up include a free domain.
Pay in TZS and manage
Pay with M-Pesa, card or bank transfer, then manage DNS and renewals in one client area.
Already own a domain elsewhere?
Move it to Route Africa and keep every domain, renewal and DNS record in one place, billed in TZS. Your website and email keep running during the move.
Why register with Route Africa in Tanzania?
International registrars rarely carry .tz names or take TZS. We do both, in one account.

| Billing in TZS | Yes | USD or EUR |
| Pay with M-Pesa | Yes | Rarely |

Domain registration in Tanzania: questions
Which Tanzania domain should I choose?
Most businesses register .co.tz. Organisations, schools and government bodies have their own zones, shown on this page with their eligibility rules. Add .com or .africa if you sell beyond Tanzania.
Why do you show the renewal price?
Some extensions are cheap for the first year and cost more afterwards. Showing both lets you compare the real cost of keeping a name.
Can I pay in TZS with mobile money?
Yes. This page bills in TZS, and checkout accepts M-Pesa, Mixx by Yas (Tigo Pesa), Airtel Money, HaloPesa, as well as cards and bank transfer.
What do restricted zones need?
Zones marked Eligibility rules or Restricted ask for proof, such as a company certificate, NGO registration or an institution's letter. We confirm the documents for your zone before you pay.
Can I use the domain with another host?
Yes. You control the nameservers and DNS records, so you can point the domain anywhere.
What if I forget to renew?
We email reminders before expiry. After that, TCRA / tzNIC (.tz registry) rules decide the grace and recovery period, so renew early if the name matters.
Je, naweza kulipia domain kwa M-Pesa?
Ndiyo. Unaweza kulipia kwa M-Pesa, Mixx by Yas (Tigo Pesa), Airtel Money au HaloPesa, pamoja na kadi na uhamisho wa benki.
