.tube domain FAQ
What kind of site fits a .tube domain?
A .tube domain fits video creators, channels, streaming projects and video platforms, and its registry pitches it to people who create, watch and share videos. The registry highlights creators who use one as a short address that forwards to their YouTube channel.
That makes it handy for promotion. A channel name plus .tube is easier to say in a video or print on merchandise than a long platform link.
Is .tube connected to YouTube or Google?
No, .tube is not connected to YouTube or Google, and it is run by an independent company, Latin American Telecom. Google applied for .tube in 2012 but withdrew before ICANN's final auction, leaving Latin American Telecom as the operator.
You can still point a .tube address at your YouTube channel, since the domain simply forwards visitors wherever you choose.
Who is allowed to register a .tube domain?
Anyone is allowed to register a .tube domain, first come, first served, with no creator status or channel size required. Individuals, studios and media companies can all sign up on equal terms.
So a new creator can claim a channel name before it grows, instead of after someone else has.
How does .tube compare with .video?
.tube and .video both signal video content, but .tube carries the everyday slang of video sharing while .video is the plain descriptive term. They also come from different registries.
A creator's channel often feels at home on .tube. A production company or video service may find .video more professional.
Will .tube links be clickable in apps like WhatsApp?
Yes, .tube links are clickable in most apps now, after the registry pushed Android and WhatsApp to recognize newer extensions in 2023 and 2024. Some older apps were slower to catch up.
When sharing, include https:// at the start of the link, which makes it clickable in almost any app.
Will people assume a .tube site is adult content?
Some visitors may connect a .tube address with adult video, since tube is also used by adult video sites and the registry markets to that industry alongside creators. For most creator and brand sites, the name in front of the dot settles it.
Keep your channel or brand name prominent in the address and on the homepage, so there is no doubt about what the site offers.
Does it matter that .tube has a small, independent registry?
A .tube domain comes from a small registry that runs only this one extension, instead of a large operator with hundreds. That does not change how the domain works, since it resolves, secures and forwards like any other.
What it can mean is fewer registrars carrying it, so register the name you want when you find it available and keep auto-renew switched on.
