What is the .TV domain?
Distinct and memorable, .TV domain names provide an instant association with video and rich media content. A .TV domain can be registered by anyone, anywhere in the world.
Why Register .TV
A .TV domain is the best way to announce that your site has video or other rich media, like animation, audio or streaming content.
.TV has also become popular as a secondary extension to websites with how-to videos, promotional materials, training and educational content. .TV can be used for your main website, or as a complement to your .COM, .CA, etc. As a newer namespace, chances of securing the .TV domain name of your choice are significantly better than with other major TLD's.

Why Register .WS?
.WS is versatile, easy to remember and can be used for any manner of website (ecommerce, corporate, personal, file sharing, directories, forums, etc.).
