.tv domain information
Here you will find all the information related to .tv domains.
The .tv domain is the preferred top-level domain (TLD) for video, film, animation, and all types of dynamic media. It is the country-code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Tuvalu, but is universally associated with media, particularly television. The .tv domain works the same way as a .net or .com domain, but in this case, any address with the .tv extension will be easily remembered and identified.
When users visit a .tv domain, they understand that the website will be related to multimedia content, making this domain especially suitable for websites focused on audiovisual content, film, television, or entertainment in general.

Since domains have an expiration date, they follow a lifecycle composed of several phases or periods. This lifecycle is established by ICANN, the entity responsible for domain regulations. In the following graphic we show you the lifecycle of a .tv domain and its statuses.
- Available domain: the domain has not yet been registered, and is therefore free for registration. Once a registration request is submitted, the domain is assigned to the first request received.
- Registered domain: when a request is submitted for an available domain, it is assigned to the requesting person. When registering a domain, it can be registered for 1 to 10 years.
- Active domain: the domain will remain active for the number of years it was registered for. During this period, additional years may be added to prevent the domain from expiring.
- Grace period: the domain has expired and stops working. This period lasts 40 days and you can renew the domain without penalty fees.
- Redemption period: this period lasts 30 days, during which the domain has been deleted but can be restored and renewed at a higher price than the usual renewal fee.
- Pending delete: the domain can no longer be restored and will be released.
