Nothing written about .cv yet beyond the pricing and registry facts on this page.
How .cv second-level domains work
A second-level domain sits one step below .cv: instead of example.cv, a name is registered as example.com.cv, with com marking out one branch of the extension. We track 8 second-level extensions under .cv and 7 of them have registrar prices so far.
The .cv extension is managed by Agência Reguladora Multissectorial da Economia (ARME). Who can register under each second level, and on what terms, is decided at the registry rather than by the registrar, and a few zones may be administered separately, so confirm eligibility with your registrar before buying.
A name under any of them has three labels — your name, the second level, then cv — and DNS works exactly as for any other domain. Registration data is published through the .cv WHOIS server, whois.nic.cv, and over RDAP at https://rdap.nic.cv. The .cv registry does not support DNSSEC, so zones under its second levels cannot be signed.
