Tuvalu ccTLD
Register a .tv domain
Put your streaming or broadcast brand on .tv — Tuvalu's ccTLD, the same ending behind Twitch, Pluto TV, and MLB.tv. Tuvalu's ccTLD has been run commercially since the 1990s — first under Verisign, now GoDaddy Registry — but the buyers driving demand aren't in the South Pacific at all; they're video platforms and broadcasters cashing in on the "television" reading. Registration is open worldwide with no Tuvalu residency or paperwork required.
$51.40/yr
Currently renews at $51.40/year. Minimum 1-year registration: $51.40 before tax.
Privacy free
Who picks .tv?
- Live-streaming platforms and creators launching a channel-style brand
- Sports, news, or entertainment companies building a video-first property
- Startups wanting the instant "this is a TV thing" signal in the URL itself
What it signals
A .tv domain tells visitors, before they even click, that what's behind it is video: a channel, a stream, a broadcast property — the country tie is incidental to why people buy it.
Pros
- Reads as video content on sight — Twitch, Pluto TV, and MLB.tv already proved the pattern
- Open worldwide, no Tuvalu residency or local presence required
- Current registration and renewal rates are shown separately below; rates can change
- Business email and setup help are available as separate services
- Strong existing brand association means less explaining to do with new visitors
Watch-outs
- Off-brand if you're not actually in video or streaming — the association cuts both ways
- Priced well above typical ccTLDs; the premium is baked into registry wholesale fees, not just markup
- WHOIS privacy and other registry policies differ from .com defaults, so check specifics before you commit
