    I've been struggling to start a site that host shows. (Our own native shows) and I've always been for the .TV domain. There's just something classic about it...One thing is that the shows aren't going to be aired on Television, Is it still ok to use a .tv domain?

    Yes you could still use a .tv domain, it has no special requirements for how you use it. If your "native shows" are for a specific region you could also use a country code domain like .de .ca .it ect.

    I think the .TV domain name makes some sense for sites that are really about television, such as TV networks, or the official sites of various TV shows. But for a general website, I think TV has a cheap connotation. Other extensions, such as .net (connoting the web, or networking), or .us (connoting a US audience) seem more appropriate in these cases. It's all about the connotation you want. TV very strongly evokes the subject of television, so if the site isn't about television, I think it just looks cheap.

    The information on this page about DotTV merely scratches the surface.
