Quick answer
Can I get a .live domain offshore without KYC?
Yes. Identity Digital runs .live with no residency or business rule, so any person or company can register. We verify one email, ask for no ID, and register the name in your name with WHOIS privacy. At Isthmus Domains, an offshore domain registrar in Panama, a .live costs $28.49/year the first year and $29.99/year to renew (19 October 2026), paid in crypto with no KYC.

.live price per year
| Extension | 1st year | Renewal | Transfer | WHOIS privacy | Restrictions |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| .live | $28.49 | $29.99 | $29.99 | Free | None |
.live renewals sit just above the first-year price, so the second year costs a little more.

Are there conditions to register .live, and is KYC part of it?
There are no conditions beyond the ICANN basics. Identity Digital does not ask about your country, your company or your content plans. The ICANN step is a verified registrant email, and that is all we ask for. There is no passport, no driving licence and no proof of address. Event organisers can buy a name for one season and let it lapse, or keep it for years. A company can hold one .live per event under a single account. You pay in crypto from a balance, sending the exact amount shown on the right network.
Public data on a .live domain
Streams and events draw attention, and some viewers will look up the domain. With WHOIS privacy, the privacy service contact replaces your email in the RDAP record of your .live, the only contact data we collect. It still lists the creation date, expiry date, registrar and nameservers. Identity Digital, through its company Dog Beach, LLC, keeps the registration data under its own policy. Our guide explains how to check what WHOIS shows for your own name.
Domain protection for a .live event or stream
A stream with a large audience can attract people who try to find the owner. With the optional Domain protection, the registry and public WHOIS show DomaineGoat LLC as registrant. A transfer lock is on from the start, and DNS changes need your confirmation. We hold only your email. We release the data we hold only when Panamanian law requires it (a Panamanian court or prosecutor's order), or in a UDRP case. Every complaint gets a human review before any action.
Who manages .live?
IANA lists Dog Beach, LLC as the manager of .live, one of the registry companies of Identity Digital. The same group runs many other new generic extensions, among them .digital. .live came from ICANN's new gTLD programme and follows the standard registry agreement. That brings the UDRP for trademark disputes, a verified registrant email and the DNS abuse rules added in 2024. The extension supports DNSSEC and accented (IDN) names, with terms of 1 to 10 years. Since ICANN contracts bind the registry, its abuse duties match those of other generic extensions.

What can go wrong with a .live name
Live sports and pay-per-view streams draw copyright complaints. We do not suspend on a complaint; a Panamanian court decision is required. But a site that steals card numbers behind a fake stream is fraud, and it is suspended on a documented report. Short-lived event names expire if auto-renew is off, and someone else can then register them. Confirm your email within the ICANN deadline of 15 days, or the domain can be suspended.
.live questions
Is .live only for video streaming?
No. Streaming is the best-known use, but the registry has no content rule. Concerts, conferences, news tickers and sports pages all fit .live. Anyone can register one, from any country, with one verified email at Isthmus Domains, and payment is in crypto.
Can I point a .live domain to my streaming channel?
Yes. Add a CNAME or A record in our free DNS editor that points to the page or host you want. You can change the target as often as needed, for example from a pre-event page to the live feed and then to the replay.
Who is the registrant of my .live?
You are, by default. The registry lists you. In public lookups, the privacy service contact replaces your email, the only contact data we collect. If you add Domain protection, our company becomes the registrant of record. You remain the beneficial owner, with full control of DNS, nameservers and renewal.
Will you hand my details to a rights holder who asks?
No, not on a simple request. We release the data we hold only when Panamanian law requires it (a Panamanian court or prosecutor's order), or in a UDRP case. A UDRP provider also receives registrant record in a trademark case.
