Quick answer
Can I register a .tv domain in your company's name?
Yes: you can register a .tv domain in our name at NomineeName. The registrant is DomaineGoat LLC, incorporated in Panama, so the registrant record and WHOIS/RDAP show the company, never you. As of October 2026, .tv costs $42.99/year, nominee registration included. No ID, no KYC — only a verified email, kept private — and you pay in crypto.

Who registers .tv in a company's name?
A .tv is the extension of video, streaming, creators and TV channels. Creators build a public persona and often keep their legal name private. The registry record is one more place where that legal name could appear. Registering the .tv in our name keeps it on our company.
What the .tv registry receives, what WHOIS shows, what we keep
| Who | What they get for your .tv domain |
|---|---|
| Ministry of Transport, Energy, Communications and Innovations | DomaineGoat LLC as holder, with the company's address. Nothing about you. |
| Public WHOIS / RDAP | The company as registrant, or fields the registry redacts. Never your name. |
| NomineeName | Your verified email and your orders. The email never goes to the registry. |
| You | Beneficial owner: DNS, renewals and the transfer code (free, from your account, at any time). |
What does the .tv registry ask of a holder?
.tv is the country code of Tuvalu. The registry is Tuvalu's Ministry of Transport, Energy, Communications and Innovations. GoDaddy Registry has operated it since 2022. There is no residence condition and privacy is allowed. Our company is the holder of record that the registry receives. .tv does not support accented characters.
What should you check before registering .tv?
- Channel names: register the .tv that matches your channel handle before you announce it.
- Term: 1 to 10 years per order.
- Redirects: point the .tv to your video platform from your DNS settings.
- Protection: Domain protection confirms every DNS change from your account.
- Hand-back: anyone may hold a .tv, so the registry accepts you as holder if you ask for the domain in your own name. Your details would then reach the registry.

Frequently asked questions
Who runs the .tv registry?
The government of Tuvalu, through its Ministry of Transport, Energy, Communications and Innovations, is the registry. GoDaddy Registry has operated .tv since 2022. Registration policies come from that registry, not from ICANN's contract for generic extensions.
Can a stream or video creator keep a stage name on a .tv?
Yes. The registry record names our company, so your legal name never reaches it. You can show your stage name on the site. We hold one verified email for you, never published and never sent to the registry.
Can I use accented letters in a .tv name?
No. Our data lists .tv without IDN support, so names use plain letters, digits and hyphens. If your channel name has accents, register the unaccented spelling. Names are not case-sensitive.
Who owns a .tv domain held in your name?
DomaineGoat LLC is the registrant of record and you are the beneficial owner, under a written agreement in our terms. Your transfer code: free, from your account, at any time. The hand-back of the .tv name to you is free, on request to support from your verified email address. It works where the registry accepts you as holder.
Can a complaint take my .tv domain down?
Not on its own: copyright, defamation, political or competitor complaints need a decision from a Panamanian court. The strict exceptions have fixed delays: phishing, malware, botnets and fraud that takes money from victims within 24 hours of a well-documented report, child sexual abuse material immediately. See the abuse policy.
