1. Both .tv and .com are top level domain extension. .tv is however more expensive. If your website is majorly about videos or online streaming, then .tv is better.

2. If you want to have a website where you will be uploading videos without using youtube, then you will really need a website with a very high plan. However, to make life easier for you, just create an account on youtube and then upload the videos from youtube. Youtube wil be hosting the videos while people will be watching them on your website.

3. Online tv? Do you mean online live video streaming?

Register and host your domain atç www.siteground.com then create an account on youtube and start uploading your videos there.

You will need a good wordpress video theme to design the website. You can use a theme called beetube. I can do that for you. Thanks.

My advice to you is, get both a .tv and a .com domain for your website.

Let's assume your brand name is iroko, you have to register both irokotv.com and iroko.tv while redirecting one domain to the other(and btw, irokoTv lost the domain name iroko.tv to a domain squatter. So, don't make the same mistake)
Goodluck.

.tv and .com are TLD.
However, .com can be used for all websites but .tv is mainly used by tv stations that have websites with live streaming of their content or its used for websites that is solely for streaming videos e.g emmanuel.tv

.tv is the domain extension of Tuvalu, a tiny island country in Micronesia just like .ng for Nigeria. Due to its uniqueness, most video streaming sites tend to use it because most people think the .tv stands for television. grin

@OP How do you plan to make money from the site or are you just doing it for fun/as a hobby? It's not very easy making money from a new video website unless you have lots of money (hundreds of thousands to millions) to promote it or if the videos are unique videos from popular personalities/characters.

The videos that you upload, are they your original creations or obtained from elsewhere? Youtube has stringent guidelines on video ownership especially when you intend to make money off of the videos (via Adsense?)

Not trying to discourage you sha, just giving you an idea of what you might be getting into cos we've tried this before when I was studying with NG44 MOB Program
