.tv domain life cycle
Available domain
In this first phase the domain is free and can be registered. Any user can apply for registration through an ICANN-accredited Registrar Agent and become the owner of the domain.
Register
The domain name is registered and can be active for 10 years. This is the period of the first registration, but if the holder decides to renew it, he can keep the domain active for as long as he wishes.
Due date
When the expiration date of the domain arrives, if it is not renewed, the domain expires. At that time, all services related to the domain become inactive: the website, email accounts, etc.
Grace period
If the domain is not renewed upon arrival, its expiration date enters a grace period of 42 days. During this period, the domain remains inactive, but it can be renewed in the normal way at the provider that manages it.
Redemption Period
If the grace period ends and you haven't renewed, you automatically stay on redemption. You have 30 days to recover it at a much higher price than the renewal price.
Deletion
When the redemption period ends, the domain goes into a deletion phase, in which the domain cannot be recovered and will be free in the following days.

Frequently asked questions about .tv domains
What are .tv domains used for?
Domains with a .tv extension are used for television and related websites, although they can be used for any type of website and use.
DNS update in .tv domains
The DNS modification is immediate, but it will need to propagate through the network. This propagation can take anywhere from 6-12 hours to complete, typically.o.
Change of Whois data in .tv domains
If the owner's data is changed, the domain cannot be transferred to another provider within 60 days of the change.
You will be able to change the whois data of all the domain contacts (owner, administrative, technical, billing) from the client area easily.
If you update the field of the name, surname, organization, identity document or email account in the data of the owner contact, a process of change of domain owner will automatically start, which must be accepted by both the current owner contact and by the new one to take effect. (New ICANN regulations 12/1/2016).
Is it advisable to use .tv domains with ñ?
We advise against adding a special symbol that is typical of the language (ñ, ç or an accent), since these are domains called IDN or Internationalized Domain Names. The reason is that they cause problems when managing email accounts, among other things. For example, known mail managers (Windows Mail, Gmail, Hotmail or Outlook) do not successfully send or receive messages for this type of domain. What you can do is register them to protect your brand and redirect them to the domain that you finally use for your website and your mail.
Are there .tv domains that are reserved or that cannot be registered?
Some TV domains are considered premium, and at Webempresa we do not manage them. Don't worry, if you try to register a premium domain, we'll notify you so you can register another domain name instead.
Can I assign my company data in Whois contacts to the .tvdomain?
Yes, you can assign both company and individual data to any whois contact in the .tv domain
