The .tn extension is the country-code domain of Tunisia, a North African country on the Mediterranean coast with its capital in Tunis. Companies, craft workshops, tourism operators and cultural initiatives use it to show a clear link to the country and its customers.

A short history
Tunisia has its own national code, and the zone has grown as more organisations moved their work online. Over the years it has been taken up by public bodies, shops, hotels, food producers and cultural groups, so today it is used across many sectors, from the coastal resorts to the workshops of the old towns.
Who runs it
The zone is managed by a national registry, which keeps the official list of names and sets the conditions for registration. Registrars sell names to customers and forward orders to the registry. Because the conditions belong to the registry, its published terms should be checked whenever you register or renew a name.
Rules in practice
- Holder conditions: rules on who may register a .tn name can depend on the holder's status, so read them before you order.
- Contact details: the information you give must be accurate, and the registry or the registrar may ask you to confirm it.
- Characters: the label may contain letters, digits and hyphens, and the registry sets the maximum length.
- Renewal: enable auto-renewal and keep the notification e-mail active, so the name does not lapse.
Who uses .tn
- Restaurants, hotels and tour operators that welcome visitors to Tunis and the coast.
- Olive oil producers, craft workshops and textile makers that sell to buyers at home and abroad.
- Digital agencies and start-ups based in Tunis and other cities.
- Schools, cultural centres and festivals that present their programmes to a local audience.
Strengths
- The ending gives a strong link to Tunisia, which helps local customers find a business quickly.
- Arabic and French are both widely used in Tunisia, so a .tn site can present itself in either language or in both.
- The address is short and easy to say, which suits menus, shop fronts and printed brochures.
Things to keep in mind
- A .tn name points to one country, so a business with international customers may also need a generic address.
- Good short names can already be taken, so prepare a descriptive alternative in case your first choice is unavailable.
- Visitors from outside the region may not recognise the ending at once, so show the full address clearly.
- Terms for holders can change, so keep your registration details up to date.
Tips before you register
- Search for the .com version of your name before you commit to a .tn address.
- Give the company details exactly as they appear in the official papers.
- Decide the language order of the site, Arabic, French or both, before you design the menu.
- Host the site with good connections to Tunisia, so that pages load quickly for local visitors.
- Set up mail records and a second administrator on the registrar account.
Frequently asked questions
Can a company outside Tunisia register a .tn name? Holder conditions apply, and they can depend on the company's status and location, so check the current terms first.
Can a .tn site be written in French only? Yes. The ending does not limit the language, although Arabic may also matter to many of your readers.
Does .tn help a site rank in Tunisian search results? It may give search engines a location clue. Relevant local content, a fast site and clear business details carry more weight.
