Register a .live Domain From 3.18 USD

Q: Does the first-year price continue every year?

Not necessarily. The registration figure is [th_price tld="live"]; the separate renewal figure is [th_price tld="live" type="renew"]. Plan ongoing costs from the renewal amount and review the payable total before each order.

Immediate. Active. Yours.

An Address Built for What Happens Now.

When people expect something to happen in the moment, the ending itself can carry that signal. .live places your name under a suffix that reads as action rather than archive. For a channel such as pulse.live, it can gather stream links, event sign-ups and returning viewers under one recognisable destination.

Lead with the moment. Choose a name that matches the experience you offer, rather than a generic profile link.
Make the activity obvious. Creators, organisers and broadcasters can use .live across promotions and player embeds.
Leave room to expand. Start with a simple landing page; add schedules, archives or ticket flows later without changing the core address.

Illustrative channel identity: Pulse uses .live across its public site and contact address.

Match the ending to the activity

.live, .com or .tv?

Who are you trying to reach, and what do you want the address itself to say? A streaming channel, a general brand and a broadcast-style project may prefer different suffixes. Weigh audience against availability and long-term cost.

Practical ways the address works

A .live Domain for What You Put On Air

A domain becomes useful when people actually use it. These examples show how one address can support a stream, an event schedule or a growing channel.

Find Your .live

Creator Channel

Give Viewers One Place to Arrive

Offer a single address for current streams, past sessions and contact details.

Live Events

Point People Straight to the Action

Link the domain to tickets, schedules and player embeds, then print it on posters and ads.

Real-Time Updates

Keep the Feed Easy to Find

Share breaking notes, webinars or community sessions without relying only on social algorithms.

Name Consistency

Cover the Ways People Search

When both spellings are free, register .live and a matching general ending, then redirect one to the other.

After the name is secured

.live Domain Management, Made Clear

Once registered, the address needs instructions for visitors and messages. Use the account tools to keep those connections current, monitor the registration and prepare for any future move.

How to Put Your .live Domain to Work

A viewer may first land on the channel page, send a question and later join a scheduled session. Each step can share the same identity. Apply each service’s DNS requirements; different providers can still operate behind one domain.

Confirm the spelling first

.live Domain Name Rules

Write the exact spelling before you search. The label to the left of .live must follow the registry’s format rules, and a correctly formed spelling can still be reserved or already held by someone else.

Accepted in a .live name

Plain English letters without accent marks
Digits, including any that form part of your channel name
A hyphen between words, never at the start or end
Combinations such as pulse-channel24

Not accepted

Beginning or ending the label with a hyphen
Spaces, underscores or other symbols
Characters that require internationalised-domain encoding in restricted contexts
Reserved spellings and names already held by others

Check Sample Spellings

Candidate	Format Check	Explanation
`pulse.live`	Valid spelling	Uses only permitted characters
`pulse-channel24.live`	Valid spelling	Combines letters, a middle hyphen and digits
`-pulse.live`	Invalid spelling	A leading hyphen breaks the format rule
`pulse_channel.live`	Invalid spelling	The underscore falls outside the allowed character set

Gather the details you will need

Your .live Registration Checklist

Individuals, creators and organisations may apply for .live. No industry licence or local-presence requirement applies. Provide accurate details for the person or body that will hold the registration.

Information you need

The legal holder’s full personal or organisational identity
An inbox that will receive registration notices
Correct contact and postal information for the holder
Your chosen spelling, already checked against the permitted format

What registration does not supply

A streaming platform account or broadcast licence
Exclusive legal rights to a channel or brand name
Hosted mailboxes or web hosting as part of the name alone
A permanent registration with no future payments

Before you register

Check related endings

Think about how someone who hears your channel name might type it. Search any important variation before printing an address you may later want to change.

Review existing rights

A successful availability check is not a trade-mark clearance. Look at existing brands and relevant rights before adopting a name for public use.

Use a lasting email address

Select an inbox you can still reach even if this domain later becomes unavailable. That simplifies registration queries and urgent account notices.

Protect a working address

What Happens If .live Expires?

An expired address can interrupt more than a website: stream links, password resets and audience messages may all depend on it. Arrange renewal before the end date. The registry’s recovery window is a final chance, not a planned renewal method.

01Resolving

Active

Confirm that payment arrangements and contact details remain usable while the registration is current.

02Action due

Renewal Due

The displayed renewal charge is TSh 129,766. Complete payment early, especially if approval from another person is required.

03Grace period

Expired

During the initial grace window after expiry the address may still resolve. Act at once rather than treating continued service as proof of renewal.

04Redemption

Recovery window

Once suspension begins, connected services stop. Recovery may still be possible for a limited time and can involve extra fees.

05Released

Cancelled

After the recovery window closes the unrenewed name is scheduled for release. Another party may then register it; recovery is no longer assured.

Change registrar without renaming

Already Hold a .live Domain?

You can switch the registrar without selecting a new channel address. Prepare account access and DNS details first, then follow the standard transfer process. Registrar transfer and website migration remain separate tasks.

Transfer — TSh 85,176

01
Prepare account access
Locate the current registrar login and confirm who is authorised to request changes. Keep a record of the working DNS configuration.
02
Start the receiving order
Begin a Truehost transfer for the exact .live spelling and obtain the instructions for accepting it.
03
Finish the transfer steps
Follow the authorisation process from the current registrar and Truehost. Confirm that existing website and mail destinations remain correct after the handover.

Questions before you decide

.live Domain FAQs

Practical answers for creators and organisers choosing an address, connecting services or moving an existing registration.

Is .live restricted to broadcasters or streamers?

No. Any individual or organisation may hold a .live registration. There is no requirement to hold a broadcast licence or prove activity as a streamer. The applicant must still supply accurate details and meet the registry’s terms.

Does the first-year price continue every year?

Not necessarily. The registration figure is 3.18 USD; the separate renewal figure is TSh 129,766. Plan ongoing costs from the renewal amount and review the payable total before each order.

Does .live improve search rankings?

No ending guarantees a ranking position. Choose an address that fits the activity, then focus on useful content, a usable site and a clear description of what you offer. The domain should support that work, not replace it.

Can I register the name before the site or stream is ready?

Yes. You can secure an available registration while the channel is still being planned. Keep contact details and renewal arrangements up to date, and connect hosting when you have pages or players ready to publish.

Does registration include a working email inbox?

No hosted mailbox is created simply by registering an address. Choose a mailbox product if you need to send and receive channel email; a forwarding feature serves a different purpose and routes messages into an existing inbox.

Must website and email use the same provider?

No. Your website can use one compatible platform and your mail another. Apply each provider’s DNS instructions carefully so a website change does not unintentionally interrupt incoming messages.

Can I keep .live indefinitely?

You can retain the registration by renewing it while eligible and complying with the applicable terms. It is not a one-time permanent purchase. The registry allows durations up to ten years; the options offered in your order appear at checkout.

What if my preferred channel name is already taken?

Try a clear, relevant variation that people can remember, or consider a different ending. Avoid a confusing imitation of another brand. Do not assume that an inactive-looking website means the registration is available to buy.

Should a matching .com point to the same website?

If you control both registrations, you can choose a primary address and configure the other to redirect there. Buying .live does not automatically give you .com; check and acquire the matching registration separately if it matters to your channel.

Why must registration details stay accurate?

The registry or registrar may need to contact you about the registration. Outdated details can make validation, account recovery and urgent notices harder to handle. Update them when your project moves, changes ownership or replaces its contact inbox.

Is transferring a .live domain the same as moving hosting?

No. A registrar transfer changes who administers the registration. Website files, databases and mailboxes may remain where they are. If you also want new hosting, plan that migration separately and coordinate any DNS changes.

Can I recover a .live after services stop?

Possibly, if the registration is still inside the registry’s recovery window. Contact the registrar promptly once expiry is noticed; once the name is fully released, recovery is no longer guaranteed and another party may register it.
