What .tv domain registration actually is
.tv is Tuvalu's country-code top-level domain. People use it as the abbreviation for television. Hostinger's .tv page, read 4 November 2026, says anyone can register it, with no local-presence rule, and that it is chosen for media, streaming, and entertainment. Crazy Domains describes the same two facts: Tuvalu, and the television abbreviation.
- Country code of Tuvalu, marketed as video.
- No Tuvalu company is required, on the Hostinger statement.
- It works as a normal DNS name: site, mail, and a browser.
- The ending does not make a channel. The video does.
The first Google URL was a redirect. The page behind it is Hostinger's .tv product. The third result's redirect pointed at a HostPapa help article. Its body was not used for a price.
What a .tv name costs at WebJi®
WebJi® has no published .tv figure in its price list. The exact registration and the exact renewal are confirmed at checkout, in INR, before you pay. The invoice then adds 18% GST. Nothing is charged until you accept the figure.
Hostinger lists 34.99 US dollars the first year and 34.99 US dollars to renew, read 4 November 2026. Unlike several new endings, that pair does not jump. It is still their price, in dollars, not the WebJi® invoice.
Crazy Domains' parsed page did not show a number, only a price placeholder. A blank is not a discount. The indicative .com and .in bands below are other extensions, for scale, not a .tv quote.
| Extension | Indicative registration | Indicative renewal | What the band is |
|---|---|---|---|
| .com | ₹1,380 | ₹1,480 | A different extension. Not this page's price. |
| .in | ₹1,000 | ₹1,000 | A different extension. Not this page's price. |
Indicative bands only, source pricing_custom.json, read 4 November 2026, before 18% GST. They are not the registration or renewal for the extension on this page.
How to register a .tv domain at WebJi®
Do not pay before the quote names this extension, the term, and the renewal. The checker only tells you the name is free.
- Open the domain availability checker and type the name with .tv.
- Confirm you are buying .tv and not a lookalike. Email the spelling and ask for the INR renewal next to the registration.
- Email support@webji.services with the exact name and the term. The reply is the INR figure before 18% GST, with the renewal beside it.
- Pay by UPI, card or net banking only after you accept. The invoice is in INR and shows the GST.
- Use a registrant contact that can read mail. Verification goes to that mailbox.
- Point the nameservers, or ask support to do it. It has worked when WHOIS shows your registrant and the name resolves.
Who can register a .tv name
Anyone can register, on the Hostinger page: a person or a business, in most countries, with no local presence. WebJi® still checks the spelling and the term in the quote. Availability can exclude reserved names. If the quote says a name is blocked, it is blocked.
Use .tv for a channel, a stream, a show, or a production house. Put the DNS on the host that serves the video site, and put mail on an MX you control. A transfer needs the current registrar's authorisation code. Support confirms any lock before it starts.
When a .tv domain is the wrong choice
Do not buy .tv for a shop, a clinic, or a local service that never publishes video. Viewers understand the ending. Everyone else asks what it means, then types .com.
Also do not buy it because a country-code sounded rare and therefore valuable. The value is the video brand. Without that, you are renting four letters.
Why WebJi® for a .tv name
The quote is in INR for .tv, with the renewal beside the first year, before 18% GST. WebJi® has registered names for Indian businesses since 2005, formerly B4UIndia, and 12,000+ clients keep domains and hosting here. WebJi® is the registrar you order from. It is not the registry, and it is not ICANN.
- One office, in Jaipur. +91 141 4941811 is the office line, not a 24/7 support number.
- Email support@webji.services is 24/7, in Hindi and English, with an average first reply under 60 minutes.
- The quote, the INR invoice with 18% GST, and the DNS change sit in one account.
- A move of an existing site or DNS zone is free only after approval.
The parent page is domain registration in India. A related ending is a .site domain. Send the spelling and the term through the contact page.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does .tv domain registration cost at WebJi®?
The exact registration and the exact renewal are confirmed at checkout, in INR, before you pay. 18% GST is added on the invoice. Hostinger's .tv page, read 4 November 2026, lists 34.99 US dollars the first year and 34.99 US dollars to renew. That is their price, not WebJi®'s, and it is not a teaser that jumps later.
Is .tv a television domain or a country code?
Both in practice. It is Tuvalu's country-code ending, and people use it as the abbreviation for television. Crazy Domains describes it that way. There is no local-presence rule on the Hostinger page.
Who should buy .tv?
A channel, a stream, a broadcaster, or a video brand that wants the word in the address. A shop or a charity does not get that meaning from .tv.
Does .tv need a Tuvalu company?
No. Hostinger states anyone can register it, individuals and businesses, with no local presence. WebJi® still confirms the name in the quote before you pay.
Can I transfer a .tv name to WebJi®?
Ask with the authorisation code from the current registrar. Support confirms any lock by email before the transfer starts.
Is the Jaipur phone line 24/7 support?
No. +91 141 4941811 is the Jaipur office number. Email support@webji.services is the 24/7 line, in Hindi and English, with an average first reply under 60 minutes.
