.tv registration
.tv is the country-code extension assigned to Tuvalu, but its strong association with television makes it particularly suited to broadcasters, streaming services, video creators, production studios, esports channels, and other screen-focused projects. Registration is open and names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. A .tv domain label may contain between 1 and 63 characters. The extension also supports many accented Latin characters, helping brands and creators use names that reflect their preferred spelling. No special registration procedure or supporting documents are required. To transfer an existing .tv domain to host.yt, first disable the registrar lock or other transfer protection at your current registrar. You must then obtain the domain’s authorization code and submit it with the transfer request. Completion can take several days, and a successful transfer adds one year to the domain’s expiry date. Changing the registered holder requires authentication by both parties. Validation emails are sent to the current holder and the proposed new holder, and each must approve the request. If the required validation is not completed within five days, the request is cancelled. A holder change does not alter the domain’s existing expiry date.

Frequently asked questions
What does the .tv extension stand for?
tv is the country-code top-level domain assigned to Tuvalu. Because “TV” is widely understood as an abbreviation for television, the extension is also used internationally by broadcasters, video platforms, production companies, streamers, and creators whose work is centered on visual media.
Who can register a .tv domain?
tv registration is open, with no specific eligibility procedure described by the registry. Individuals, businesses, organizations, and creators may register an available name. Domains are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, so an available name can be claimed by the first successful applicant.
Are there restrictions or required documents for registering .tv?
No special documents or registration procedure are required for a .tv domain. The requested name must be available, and its label must contain between 1 and 63 characters. Many accented Latin characters are supported, allowing eligible internationalized domain names as well as standard ASCII names.
Is .tv a good choice, and what projects suit it?
tv is a practical choice when video is central to the project. It suits streaming channels, broadcasters, filmmakers, production studios, esports teams, video podcasts, tutorials, and creator portfolios. The extension signals a visual-media focus before a visitor opens the website.
When does .tv make more sense than .com?
tv makes more sense when immediate association with television, streaming, or video is valuable. .com is broader and may feel more conventional for a general business. Choose .tv for a clearly video-led identity; choose .com when the project covers wider products or services beyond media.
How quickly is a .tv domain registered, and how long does it last?
Registration can proceed once host.yt confirms that the requested name is available and accepts the order. Because .tv names are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis, availability can change until registration completes. The applicable registration term and expiry date are confirmed with the domain order.
How do I transfer a .tv domain to host.yt?
Disable transfer protection at your current registrar, request the domain’s authorization code, and submit it to host.yt with your transfer order. The transfer may take several days. Once completed, one year is added to the domain’s current expiry date.
