Register your .live domain

A .live domain is a type of TLD (top-level domain) that's typically registered by live streamers, performers, radio stations, events companies and the like. They're used as platforms to host live streams, as well as build a community of viewers who are fans of the streamer themselves. They can also be used to direct the viewer straight to a live-streaming platform, like Twitch or YouTube.

It sure is! .live is managed by Donuts Inc. and was designed to be registered by creators who focus their content on live streaming and events.

Simply scroll up on this page and pop your desired domain name into our availability checker. Then go through the steps to register your very own .live domain! You can also register other domains to protect your brand name and redirect viewers to your live stream or .live site.

A .live extension is right for almost anyone, but particularly those who stream live content. You could be a vlogger, gamer, podcast host or anything in between. If you fall into these categories, then a .live domain is absolutely right for you!

It's easy to redirect users to your live stream using our easy-to-navigate control panel (and access to AnyCast DNS!).

A domain name is how people find you online. Websites are hosted on a web server, and domain names tell search engines and browsers where your site is hosted. Every domain has to be unique so that the web server knows where to point a user to.

A domain extension, or top-level domain (TLD), is the last part of a domain name. It usually specifies a location or category such as .uk, .co.uk, .coffee or .blog. For example, when you buy a .co.uk domain name, you're buying a domain with a .co.uk extension.

If you want to add a blog to your website, for example, you can create a subdomain (e.g. blog.example.co.uk). With Fasthosts .live domains (and any other domain), you can have unlimited subdomains.

.live domain registration is simple. To find your perfect domain, use our domain availability checker. Simply search for an available domain name, enter some details and you're good to go.

Once you've completed your domain name registration you're ready to build a website or add an Email Hosting package.

Transferring your .live domain name to Fasthosts is easy and completely free. Visit our domain transfers page for more information.

When you're choosing a .live domain name for your business:

1. It's a good idea to protect your brand and register similar extensions (e.g. get your .co.uk alongside your .net or .com).
2. With the onset of social media applications and services like Twitter and Facebook, it's generally a good idea to secure usernames that match your chosen .live name.
3. Keep it simple. Names that are longer or contain hard-to-spell words may lead potential visitors to end up on the wrong website or on a 404 page. Shorter names that are easier to remember will make it easier for customers to find you.

Because we give you full access to your DNS (domain name system) records, we make it as easy as possible for you to transfer your domain names to other people. This means you can easily sell your .co.uk domain if you don't need it anymore.

A domain name is essential if you want your own website. It gives your website a unique identity so that search engines know where to direct users.

You can also use it to personalise your business email address, giving your customers the right first impression. You can do this using our professional Email Hosting.
