Who runs it
.tv is administered by Tuvalu, and its expiry process is an extension with widespread premium renewal pricing.
What happens after expiry
Standard sequence, though the registry has changed operator historically.
The grace period
Around 30 days at most registrars.
Recovery after that
Redemption fees above gTLD norms, reflecting higher base pricing.
Worth knowing about .tv
Premium pricing applies to many .tv names, meaning renewal can be far higher than the standard rate. Check what yours actually renews at rather than assuming.
What is true of every extension
- The domain stops resolving the moment it expires. Website and email both stop at once, because both depend on the same records.
- Your registrar panel may still show the domain as active while the rest of the internet already treats it as gone.
- Every stage after expiry costs more than renewing did, and the last stage cannot be undone at any price.
Registry policies change. The shape of the process is stable, but confirm exact windows with your registrar before relying on a number.
