.live registration
.live is open to individuals, businesses, organisations, and communities without eligibility conditions. Names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, so an available label can be registered without proving a connection to broadcasting, events, or entertainment. Each label may contain between 1 and 63 characters. The extension suits projects centred on real-time activity or an active audience: livestreams, concerts, sports coverage, online classes, creator channels, product launches, and community events. It also supports selected internationalised Latin characters, including accented letters used in French and Spanish, as well as characters such as ß. To transfer a .live domain to host.yt, first remove the registrar lock or other transfer protection at the current registrar. Then request the domain’s authorisation code and submit it with the transfer order. Completion can take several days, and a successful transfer adds one year to the domain’s existing expiry date. Changing the registered holder is a separate authenticated process. Confirmation emails are sent to both the current holder and the proposed new holder, and both parties must complete validation within five days or the request is cancelled. This holder change does not alter the domain’s expiration date. .live also supports routine domain operations such as renewals, DNS changes, DNSSEC management, restoration, forwarding, privacy preferences, and registrar locking through supported interfaces.

Frequently asked questions
What does the .live extension mean?
live signals real-time, active, or event-led content. It is commonly associated with livestreaming, performances, sports, classes, launches, and communities, but the registry does not limit it to those uses. Any eligible registrant may choose it for a project where immediacy or participation is central.
Who can register a .live domain?
Anyone can register a .live domain. The extension has no residency, nationality, professional, or industry eligibility condition. Available names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, so registration depends on whether the requested label is still available when the order reaches the registry.
Are there registration restrictions or required documents for .live?
There are no special eligibility documents required for .live registration. You do not need to demonstrate involvement in broadcasting, entertainment, or events. The chosen label must be available and contain between 1 and 63 characters, using characters supported by the extension.
Is .live a good choice, and for what kind of project?
live is a strong fit when the domain should immediately suggest real-time access, participation, or an active programme. It works well for streaming channels, conferences, concerts, sports coverage, webinars, online teaching, creator communities, and launch events. It is less descriptive for a purely static corporate information site.
When does .live make more sense than .com?
live makes more sense when real-time content or audience participation is part of the project’s identity, because the extension communicates that purpose before someone visits the site. .com is broader and more familiar for general commercial use, while .live offers a clearer thematic signal but may require slightly more explanation offline.
How quickly is a .live domain registered, and how long does it last?
An available .live name is allocated on a first-come, first-served basis when the registry accepts the registration request. The applicable registration term and expiry date should be reviewed in the host.yt order details. Renew the domain before that expiry date to maintain control of the name.
How do I transfer a .live domain to host.yt?
Disable the registrar lock or other transfer protection with your current registrar, obtain the domain’s authorisation code, and submit that code with your transfer order at host.yt. The process may take several days. Once completed, one year is added to the domain’s existing expiration date.
