.live Domain Search

Streams, broadcasts, event pages, conferences and status pages: anything where the point is that it is happening now. It also reads as "live" in the sense of a site being up rather than in development.

It is one of the better uses for it. An event gets its own short address for the year, and the extension itself tells people the page is current rather than an archive.

Identity Digital. The extension launched under Rightside in 2015, moved to Donuts when it acquired Rightside in 2017, and became Identity Digital when Donuts and Afilias merged in 2022.

The first year often is, at a couple of dollars, but renewals run much higher at some registrars, up to sixty dollars a year. Check the renewal price, particularly for a name you plan to keep across several events.

Well, and the availability is good, names that vanished from .com a decade ago are often still free. The extension carries the context, so the name itself can just be your handle.

Mid-range in our records: about a quarter of new names contain a digit and a tenth a hyphen, averaging around ten and a half characters. That is a mix of real names and bulk registration rather than one or the other.

Yes. There are no residency, business or documentation requirements.

No. Extensions carry no ranking weight of their own. What it does is set an expectation before the click, which is worth more for an event page than a ranking tweak would be.

A subdomain costs nothing and inherits your existing domain's reputation, which is usually the better engineering answer. A separate .live is worth it when the event or channel needs to stand on its own, on posters and in speech.

No. Status pages, ticker sites, conference programmes and anything updated in real time all fit the word, and video is only the most obvious case.
