Purchasing a Domain

[BriceH]

I was wondering where the best place to purchase a domain is. I want a .tv domain, and does a domain come with an "Authorization Code"? I'm want to hook it up to my webs.com account.

I would like to know the same.

I never have understood why anyone not from Tuvalu or with links to Tuvalu would want to register a .tv domain (or .tk not from Tokelau etc)
Why not go with other more exotic ones, .fo (Faroe I.), .fk (Falkland Isl.), .cc (Cocos I.), .tt (Trinidad & Tobago), .ax (Aland.. wait a minute, they are not a country, just alert me when I can get a Sicilian domain then mmkay?) or pick your own. Plenty to choose (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Country_code_top-level_domain).

Godaddy doesn't (http://boingboing.net/2009/04/30/godaddy-dont-buy-dot.html) recommend .tv anyway (http://www.quickonlinetips.com/archives/2009/05/sinking-tuvalu-tv-domain-names/).
Some years ago they were (http://archive.salon.com/tech/view/2000/07/24/dot_tv/index.html) apparently cool

And there finally some that sells these Tuvalu domains for you: http://www.marcaria.com/domains/tuvalu/tuvalu-domain-registration-tv.asp

www.1and1.com sells .tv domains for $30/year, but I don't really understand why you want them when you could buy out 3 .coms for the same price. But that is up to you and I have no complaints with 1and1.

And usually you connect it to an account by setting up name servers your webhost provides.
