.TV Domain Names
 DOT-TV
is the official Internet address of Tuvalu, a small Polynesian island country
in the South Pacific, making it somewhat
of an Exotic or boutique domain extension. However, the beauty of .TV domains

marketable of all the 240 different country code top level domains (ccTLD)
available.

but allows you to brand you or your company using the most recognized two-letter
symbol
in
the
world — "TV." Register

What is allowed in a .TV domain registration and what is not?
.TV names can contain the English-language letters A through Z, and the digits 0 through 9. You can also use hyphens, but hyphens cannot begin or end your domain name. Spaces and special characters (such as !, $, &, ë, and so on) are never permitted for any domain name. The minimum length is 2 characters, and the maximum length is 63 characters (excluding the "http://www" and ".TV" portions).
At this time, .TV does support multilingual domain names in foreign character
sets, but we've discontinued this service due to lack of interest on the part
of our customers. If you want to register a multilingual .tv domain, you can
use the .TV registry at http://www.tv.
