.live domain names

Bring your audience to the moment.

A .live domain makes sense for a performance, broadcast or regularly updated live programme. Use it as a memorable destination for schedules and viewing links, with a useful page available between events.

Who can register?

Standard registrations are subject to registry policies; reserved and premium names are treated separately. Our search accepts 3–63 ASCII letters, numbers or hyphens before .live, starting and ending with a letter or number. Registry guidance (opens in a new tab)

Choose with confidence

Is .live right for your idea?

Make the next event unmistakable

Display the date, local time and timezone prominently. Explain whether visitors need a ticket, an account or a separate viewing app before the event starts.

Plan for the moments between broadcasts

Keep a schedule, replay links or an introduction on the page when you are offline. An empty player gives a first-time visitor little reason to return.

Separate the address from streaming

A .live registration supplies the domain, not broadcasting capacity. Connect it to a website or streaming service that can handle your expected audience.

Questions about .live domains

Does .live provide livestreaming software?

No. The domain can point people to your broadcast, but you will need a streaming platform or compatible website to deliver the video or audio.

Which .live registration periods can I choose?

Standard .live registrations are available for 1, 2, 3, 5 and 10 years. Displayed term prices are full upfront charges. Confirm your term and renewal price at order review.

Can I connect a .live domain to an existing website?

Yes, if the website service supports a custom domain. Follow that service’s DNS instructions. Domain registration and any paid website service are separate.

What happens after I find a domain?

Add one or more available names to your basket, then continue to registration. Enter the owner details and review the registration term and total before payment. Availability is provisional until the registrar confirms registration.

Will UKC charge me automatically at renewal?

No. UKC sends renewal reminders and an invoice. You need to pay the invoice to renew; UKC does not automatically charge you. Keep your contact details current so you receive reminders.
