About the .LIVE domain

What is the .LIVE domain?

The .live is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) managed by Identity Digital. It was delegated by ICANN in 2014 and its semantics are precise and powerful: 'live' in English means both 'live / on air' (a live event) and 'to live'. This dual reading makes .live especially attractive for two categories of projects: those related to real-time content (streaming, concerts, live sports, broadcasts, live podcasts) and those related to the concept of living well. It maintains the same price of $25.99/year at registration and renewal. No usage restrictions.

Frequently asked questions about the .LIVE domain

Is .live only for streaming?

No. Although .live is ideal for streaming and live events, it also works for any project wanting to communicate dynamism, timeliness and real-time engagement. The dual semantics of 'live' (on air / to live) also makes it valid for lifestyle and wellness projects.

What is the difference between .live and .tv?

The .tv ($24.99/year) has a broader connotation of 'television' and both recorded and streamed video. The .live ($25.99/year) is more specific to the live broadcast — real-time transmission. For a pure streaming channel, .live may be more precise; for a general video platform, .tv may have more recognition.

Does Microsoft use .live?

Yes. Microsoft has microsoft.live registered and uses the 'Live' brand across several services (Xbox Live, Microsoft Live). This gives .live very significant brand visibility at a global level.

Does .live rank well on Google for streaming searches?

Google treats .live like any generic gTLD. The semantic coherence between the extension and the type of content (streaming, live) can improve CTR in search results related to live events.

Does .live have the same price at registration and renewal?

Yes. The .live maintains the same price of $25.99/year at both initial registration and subsequent renewals.

Can I transfer my .live domain to miHosting?

Yes. The transfer has no additional management cost. You need the authorisation code (Auth Code) from your current registrar. The process takes 5 to 7 business days.
