    Overview

    • .tf is the country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for the French Southern and Antarctic Lands.
    • The string .tf derives from the French name "Terres australes et antarctiques françaises."
    • Intended for entities connected with those territories. Registrations are made at the second level. DNSSEC is enabled for the zone.

    History

    • Introduced on 26 August 1997.
    • Initially administered by Adamsnames (based in Cambridge, UK).
    • Administration was redelegated to AFNIC (Association Française pour le Nommage Internet en Coopération); AFNIC currently operates the .tf domain.
    • AFNIC also administers other French and French overseas TLDs such as .fr, .pm, .re, .wf and .yt.

    Usage and Audience

    • Target audience: entities, organizations and projects connected with the French Southern and Antarctic Lands (a French overseas territory).
    • Because part of France's territorial claim in Antarctica (Adélie Land) overlaps with the Antarctic region, there is an overlap in scope between .tf and the generic Antarctica ccTLD .aq.
    • Administratively grouped with France's other overseas ccTLDs under AFNIC's management.

    Registration Rules

    • Registrations are performed at the second level (example: example.tf).
    • Character and syntax rules generally follow those applied to .fr (see AFNIC naming policy for details).
    • Additional rule: registration of domain names consisting of 1 or 2 characters (numeric and/or alphabetic) is not authorized for .tf.
    • No specific registration period, pricing, or further restrictions are provided in the source material.
