Media & Content Domain Names
Media and content domains are built for publishers, broadcasters, content creators, and anyone who produces and distributes information or entertainment online. Extensions like .tv, .video, .film, .news, and .press clearly communicate the nature of your content to audiences before they even visit your site.
The media landscape has shifted dramatically online, and your domain name should reflect your content focus. A .tv domain is instantly associated with video content, .news signals journalism and current affairs, and .fm has become popular with podcasters and music platforms. These extensions help your brand stand out in an increasingly crowded content ecosystem.
At 365i, we support content creators and media organisations with fast domain registration and reliable DNS infrastructure. Whether you are launching a news outlet, starting a podcast, building a video platform, or creating a film production website, our media domain extensions provide the perfect digital foundation.
How to pick between .tv, .fm, .news, .media and .video
Start with where the address will actually be used. Your audience mostly arrives from a platform, not from a search for your domain, so the domain is doing two jobs the platform cannot do for you. It is the thing you say out loud at the end of an episode. It is also the address that still works the week a platform renames your channel, demonetises it or closes the account. Both jobs reward a name that is short, easy to say and spelled once. Neither rewards cleverness.
That splits the seventeen extensions here into three groups. .fm and .tv are the two most people recognise without being told what they mean, and they price very differently: .fm is £84.99 a year, second dearest in the category, while .tv is £33.99. For pure recognition per pound, .tv is the better buy of the pair. Then come the extensions that name the work, .news, .press, .media, .video, .show, .film and .productions, which let the brand sit alone in front of the dot instead of turning into yournamemedia.com. The rest, .buzz, .stream, .review, .reviews, .camera, .photos, .pictures and .movie, are narrower, and most people should treat them as a second address rather than the main one.
Say each shortlist name aloud before you buy anything. "Dot F M" is two syllables and needs no spelling. ".productions" is eleven characters in every email address you ever hand out, and .photos, .pictures and .camera all get typed as one another.
Price is where two of these stop being a naming decision and become a standing bill. .movie is £219.99 a year for as long as the site exists, and .film says the same thing to an audience for £73.49. If your viewers, advertisers or invoices are British, hold the .co.uk as well, because that is the address people try from memory.
What we would suggest
-
A podcast named out loud every episode
.fmIt is the one extension here that people already read as audio without being told, and "dot F M" takes two syllables to say into a microphone with no spelling afterwards. At £84.99 a year you are paying for that recognition, so it only earns its keep if the address is really said aloud rather than only clicked.
-
A video channel meant to outlive one platform
.tvGoogle treats .tv as a generic extension rather than as Tuvalu's country code, so it behaves like a .com in search instead of pinning you to a Pacific island. It is also short enough to burn into an end card and still be legible on a phone.
-
A one-person news or commentary site
.newsAt £29.99 it costs less than half of .press, the obvious alternative for a publisher, and the extension does the explaining so the masthead can stand alone rather than becoming thenamedailynews.com. Useful when the title is a surname or a place.
-
A single film with its own campaign site
.filmIt carries the same meaning as .movie for £73.49 against £219.99, which matters because a per-title site normally has to justify itself over a festival run and a release rather than a decade. The registry sets no eligibility test, so a first feature can hold one.
-
A studio doing branded and corporate work
.mediaIt is the broadest word in this category, so the address survives the year you move from video into audio, events or design work. The medium-specific extensions cannot do that: .video reads oddly the moment half the output is a podcast.
-
A photographer publishing a gallery per client
.photosThe plural reads as a collection, which is exactly what a client gallery index is, and it is shorter to type than the alternatives when every shoot gets its own link. At £27.99 it sits between .pictures at £16.99 and .camera at £52.99, and it reads more like a working photographer than either.

Mistakes we see with media & content domains
Worth reading before you register, because most of these cost money to undo.
-
Ordering the domain before checking the handles. A show name that is free as a domain is often long gone on YouTube, Spotify, Instagram and TikTok, and the address on your end card then fails to match the account you are telling people to follow.
Do this insteadCheck the handle on every platform you publish to first, then register the domain that matches the one you can actually hold. The domain is the cheapest piece of the set and the easiest to change your mind about before anything is printed.
-
Treating .review and .reviews as the same extension. They run on separate registries, dot Review Limited and Dog Beach, and at 365i one is £25.99 a year and the other £51.99. Say "dot reviews" on a call and a good share of listeners will type the singular.
Do this insteadPick the one you will actually use, spell the ending out whenever you read the address aloud, and only register the other if the traffic justifies a second annual bill. Bear in mind readers discount a review page they can see you own.
-
Buying a short, memorable .tv or .fm on the first-year price alone. Registries designate desirable names as premium, and on most of them the premium applies to the renewal too, so the higher bill repeats every year you keep the name.
Do this insteadAsk for the renewal price before you order, not just the registration price. Registries differ on this: Global Registry Services, which runs .stream and .review, states that its premium names carry no premium renewal rate, while Radix, which runs .press, prices each tier separately for registration, transfer, redemption and renewal.
-
Registering .film, .movie or .press as though the extension vouches for you. All three run on ICANN standard base, non-sponsored agreements with no community restriction, so nobody checks a credit, a byline or a press card at the point of sale.
Do this insteadPut the proof on the page instead: named credits, an editorial contact, a masthead, festival listings. And weigh .movie at £219.99 a year against .film at £73.49, which reads the same to an audience for a third of the money.
-
Printing a platform link on the merchandise, the end card and the poster. Rename the channel, lose the account or move to a rival service, and every one of those points at nothing, with no forwarding address you control.
Do this insteadPrint the domain and redirect it to wherever the audience currently lives. DNS management and email forwarding come free with every domain at 365i, so changing where it points later costs nothing.
-
Expecting a .tv to lift you in UK results because it is short and media-flavoured. Google treats .tv as generic rather than as Tuvalu's country code, which removes the Tuvalu problem but hands you no country signal at all.
Do this insteadIf British viewers, advertisers or clients are the audience, hold the .co.uk alongside it. The country code is the part Google reads as a location on its own; on a generic extension you have to set the country target yourself in Search Console.

Media & Content Domains FAQ
Technically, .tv is the country-code TLD for Tuvalu. However, it has been commercially marketed as a domain for television and video content since 2000. It is widely used by broadcasters, streamers, and video content creators worldwide and functions as a generic media extension.
The .fm extension is the most popular choice for podcasters, as it evokes radio and audio content. Alternatively, .media or .show work well for podcast brands. The .com extension is always a solid fallback if your preferred name is available.
Yes. The .news extension is not restricted to registered news organisations. Bloggers, citizen journalists, industry analysts, and commentary sites all use .news domains effectively. The extension simply signals that your site provides current information.
Media domains can point to any type of website, including video hosting platforms. The domain itself does not affect your ability to host or stream video, that depends on your hosting infrastructure. 365i hosting plans support video embedding from platforms like YouTube and Vimeo.
Pricing varies by extension. Some media domains like .video and .film may carry a premium compared to .com, whilst others like .media and .press are competitively priced. Check individual TLD pages for current pricing in GBP.
No. All three run on ICANN standard base, non-sponsored registry agreements with no community eligibility rule, so a blogger, a one-person production company or a marketing team can register any of them without supplying credentials. Nobody checks a press card, a byline or a screen credit at the point of sale. That cuts both ways. The extension certifies nothing, so it will not persuade a commissioner or an editor on its own, and the site using a name close to yours was not vetted either. Put the proof on the page rather than in the address.
They are separate extensions run by separate registries: .review by dot Review Limited, .reviews by Dog Beach. At 365i .review is £25.99 a year and .reviews £51.99, so the plural costs roughly twice the singular. The real problem is spoken. Read either one aloud and listeners hear much the same thing, then type whichever came to mind, so a single letter sends part of your audience somewhere you do not control. Choose the one you will use, spell the ending whenever you say the address, and register the second only if the traffic justifies the extra annual cost.
No. Google treats .tv as a generic extension rather than as Tuvalu's country code, so a .tv site is not read as aimed at a Pacific island audience. The catch is the other half of that. Generic means no country signal in either direction, so a .tv earns you nothing in UK results that a .com would not, while a .co.uk carries the local signal by itself. If British viewers, advertisers or clients matter to the business, register the .co.uk alongside the .tv and point one at the other.
