101 Domains Domain Information Update ".tc" domains.

Caribbean domains: Turks and Caicos Islands (.tc)

Important: When entering your search string don't write “www” or the Turks and Caicos Islands domain type, ie. “tc”. Therefore to search “www.101domains.tc” enter “101domains” and nothing else.

The only letters allowed within a domain name are: a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z - 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9. Spaces are NOT ALLOWED.

Once the domain is registered

All Turks and Caicos Islands domain names registered with us are stored on our international server. Domains registered with us are automatically provided with their own under-construction page - this notifies potential registrants that the name has been acquired and is now registered. The under-construction page is offered free of charge and may be used indefinitely.

It is possible for Web and/or Mail forwarding to be provided for Turks and Caicos Islands domains.

Domain transfer/release fees are charged are by a majority of registrars, but 101 Domains make no charge to transfer a domain to another Turks and Caicos Islands domain name registrar.

Background

.tc is the country code top-level domain name (ccTLD) for the Turks and Caicos Islands

The Turks and Caicos Islands (TCI), are a British Overseas Territory in the West Indies. The largest of the two are the Caicos Island, whilst the Turk Islands are particularly smaller. The two are known for their tourism and for being an offshore financial centre.

The domain name .tc was introduced to the Turks and Caicos Islands in 1997. It is operated by AdamsNames and sponsored by Melrex TC. Registrations for the .tc domain name are available directly at a second-level, and there are currently no restrictions for registration. The domain name is used for a few sites, a few of which are in the Turks and Caicos Islands themselves.

AdamsNames also operates two other top-level country code domain names: .vg for the british Virgin Isles and .gd for Grenada.

Furthermore, though there are not any restrictions for registering under the .tc domain name, registrants must follow certain obligations, as follows: domain names must not be used in breach of a trademark, copyright or of any intellectual property rights of any third party. Also, a registrant must not use a domain name under the .tc domain for any illegal or immoral purpose.
