| Extra information |
.tp is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for East Timor. The choice of letters, which stand for Timor Português or Portuguese Timor are a legacy of the nation's former status as a Portuguese colony. It was first introduced in December 1997 by Connect Ireland, an internet service provider in Dublin, Ireland, when East Timor was still under Indonesian rule.
It remains in use, although it does not comply with the ISO 3166-1 standard for the two-letter codes of the name of countries, as the code for East Timor changed from TP to TL upon independence. It still contains a considerable number of domains, although unchanged since February 2007.
.tl is the ccTLD that does comply with the ISO 3166-1 standard, and the Department of Information Technology in East Timor is now working cooperatively with Connect Ireland to ensure a stable and secure transition to the .tl ccTLD, with existing registrants in the .tp ccTLD granted the same domain in the .tl ccTLD at no cost. Both the .tp and .tl "versions" will continue to resolve and registrant information, whois data, and name server delegations will be the same for both .tp and .tl for legacy domains.
As of October, 2005, no further registrations are being accepted in the .tp domain.
Registration in .tl is available directly at second-level with no local presence requirement, through CoCCA and various resellers worldwide.
As of 2008, search engines find approximately twice as many pages in the .tp domain as in its successor, .tl |
