Hi, I was thinking of developing a .tv domain . But many people keep saying that its always better to get a .com. The .com is taken , but the .tv extension fits this name perfectly. Do you think its worth developing it and will people remeber its .tv not .com? Also, what hosting do you recommend for .tv ? Thanks !!

.tv is becoming more common, and is generally seen as more legitimate than other TLDs like .info. If the tv extension is appropriate, you should definitely go for it. .com is of course preferred, but .tv is more than acceptable for certain applications.
As far as hosting, it makes no difference what your domain TLD is. All hosts will treat it the same. I recommend DreamHost if your budget is very small.

For your information .tv is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for the island nation of Tuvalu.
Tubalu has sold the right to use .tv to anybody willing to pay a fee to use it. Most Internet domain registration sites can see you a .tv site.
From the www.tv web site. http://www.tv/what/index.php
.tv is a 'top-level domain', just like .com or .net. Your Web address works the same with a .tv extension as with any other top-level domain name, but the .tv extension can add much more to your site. Since .tv is distinctive and unusual, your Web address will be highly memorable. .tv is also closely associated with dynamic video content, making this top-level domain name uniquely suited to any site tied to rich-media. A .tv domain name is also much more likely to be available, enabling you to better control your presence on the Web.
For hosting find a compay you feel will do a good job at a fair price. There are literally hundreds that can and will do it.

no because since everyone is so used to typing ".com" they will remember your site, if your making one,and if u put ".tv" not many people will show up at your site

If the website you are trying to create is about a tv channel .. then it would be more convenient to use the .tv

I would say .com most remembered.
When someone give me their e-mail, they just say; "someone@yahoo"
We assume the .com

I forgot, what were you talking about?
Seriously, mosy networks use the .tv because that is what we relate it to... If you are not in television, then it might be hard to remember....
