What is a .tv domain used for?
A .tv domain is used for video, streaming, creators and TV channels. It is the country code of Tuvalu, a Pacific island nation. Its registry is a Tuvalu government ministry, with GoDaddy Registry as operator since 2022.
Each .tv name comes with free DNS hosting with A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT and CAA records, or your own nameservers (2 to 13). Auto-renewal from your balance and a free transfer code are included.

Who can register a .tv domain?
Anyone can register a .tv domain, with no link to Tuvalu: the registry has no residency rule.
BuyDomainsCrypto adds no identity check of its own: no ID upload, no selfie, no KYC. Every order needs a working email address: the registrant email is verified after registration, as ICANN rules require (within 15 days). The no-KYC page explains what we ask and what we never ask.
Is WHOIS privacy available on .tv?
Yes. WHOIS privacy on .tv at BuyDomainsCrypto: free. Privacy services are allowed on .tv, so the public record can show the privacy service instead of your contact details. You switch it on or off for each domain in the client area.
Your email, the only data we collect, stays with the registrar and the registry. We only release the data we hold on a Panamanian court order or an urgent request that ICANN rules require registrars to answer; in a UDRP case, the details are confirmed to the dispute provider, as ICANN requires. The registry keeps its own record under its own rules. Details for every extension are on the WHOIS privacy page.
How much does a .tv domain cost over 1, 2 and 5 years?
A .tv domain costs $35.99 for the first year and $38.99 for each renewal year. Over several years the renewal price matters most. There is no promo code: the prices below are the ones you pay.
| Period | What you pay at BuyDomainsCrypto |

| 2 years | $35.99 + 1 renewal at $38.99 |

.tv domains: FAQ
How much does a .tv domain cost?
A .tv domain costs $35.99 for the first year at BuyDomainsCrypto and $38.99 for each renewal year. A transfer from another registrar costs $38.99. WHOIS privacy: free. Prices are in US dollars and paid from a balance you top up in crypto. Every extension is on the pricing page.
Can I pay for a .tv domain with Bitcoin or USDT?
Yes. Top up your balance with Bitcoin, USDT on Tron (TRC-20) or Ethereum (ERC-20), USDC on Ethereum, ETH, SOL or LTC. Then pay the .tv domain from it. The minimum top-up is $25. Unused balance stays on your account and never expires, and it pays for new domains, renewals and transfers, but it is not refundable. Monero, Lightning, BNB Chain and cards are not accepted.
Do I need an ID to register a .tv domain?
No. BuyDomainsCrypto does not run KYC: no ID document, no selfie, no proof of address. You need a working email address: the registrant email is verified after registration, as ICANN rules require (within 15 days). It is the only data we collect, and it is never published where privacy applies.
How fast is a .tv domain registered?
Registration starts when your top-up is credited. That takes 2 confirmations for BTC, 20 for USDT on TRC-20, 12 for ERC-20 tokens and ETH, 1 for SOL and 6 for LTC. The domain is then active usually within minutes of the top-up being credited; a few extensions take a few hours. Safety net: if a domain cannot be registered (taken in the meantime, registry refusal), the full amount goes back to your balance.
Can I transfer my .tv domain to BuyDomainsCrypto?
Yes. A transfer costs $38.99. Get the authorisation code from your current registrar and start the transfer from the client area. For country extensions such as .tv, the registry decides whether a transfer extends the expiry date: support confirms it before you pay. Leaving is free: the transfer code is free, requested from the client area.
Can my .tv domain renew automatically?
Yes: automatic renewal from your balance, switched on or off for each domain. Each renewal costs $38.99 per year and is paid from your balance, so keep enough funds on the account before the expiry date. You can top up at any time in any accepted coin, and unused balance never expires.
Who is the registrar of a .tv domain bought here?
BuyDomainsCrypto is a domain registration service operated by DomaineGoat LLC. Every domain is registered through an ICANN-accredited registrar and follows ICANN rules. The .tv registry adds its own rules on top. You are the registrant: the domain is in your name, with your verified email, and you keep full control of transfers.
Do I need a link with Tuvalu to register a .tv domain?
No. .tv is the country code of Tuvalu, but the registry accepts registrants from any country. Video creators, streamers and broadcasters use it because it reads as "TV". WHOIS privacy is allowed, and payment at BuyDomainsCrypto is in crypto, with no KYC.
