## Who runs the .live registry, and from which country?

IANA lists Dog Beach, LLC as .live manager, with the address "c/o Identity Digital Inc., 10500 NE 8th Street, Bellevue, Washington". Identity Digital Limited is technical operator. The dataset links Dog Beach to Identity Digital. No WHOIS host is listed; RDAP answers at rdap.identitydigital.services. The record was last updated on 7 October 2025. .live is a new gTLD of the 2012 round.

## Can a court in the United States take down or seize a .live domain?

Dog Beach is a United States company reached at a Washington State address, so US courts have direct authority over the .live registry. A trademark owner can file an in rem case against a .live name in the registry's district under 15 U.S.C. §1125(d)(2). Streaming sites receive many copyright notices; at the registry level, a US court order, not a notice, is what binds Dog Beach.

## What does PanamaRegistrar do with a complaint about a .live domain?

Nothing happens to a .live domain on a complaint alone. Copyright, defamation, political or competitor complaints need a decision from a Panamanian court; a foreign judgment must first be recognised in Panama by exequatur. Phishing, malware, botnets and fraud that takes money from victims are suspended within 24 hours of a well-documented report, child sexual abuse material immediately, and the URLs are reported to NCMEC. You are told before any action on your domain, unless the law or the court order forbids it; with Domain protection, every complaint is also read by a person before any action on the domain. This rule covers what PanamaRegistrar does, not the registry or our registrar partner. Steps and time limits: [takedown procedure](https://panamaregistrar.com/takedown-procedure/) and [how we handle complaints](https://panamaregistrar.com/complaints/).

## Who uses .live domains, and why?

Streaming, events and live content use .live, according to the dataset. Live video channels, event pages, radio stations and podcasts fit the name. Registration is open, for 1 to 10 years. Streaming sites get a large share of copyright notices, and PanamaRegistrar does not act on a notice alone: it needs a decision from a Panamanian court.

## Which registry rules are specific to .live?

Dog Beach, LLC holds several Identity Digital extensions, including .news. These share an address, an operator and a lookup service at rdap.identitydigital.services. A change of Identity Digital policy applies to all of them. .live supports DNSSEC and IDN, and IANA lists no classic WHOIS host for it.

## What does the WHOIS show for a .live domain?

Privacy is allowed on .live and included free at PanamaRegistrar. Identity Digital's RDAP output shows the registrar, dates, nameservers and status codes. Your details are not published; with Domain protection, the registry holds our company's details.

## Do I need Domain protection for a .live domain?

No, it is optional: +$29 per year, on top of the .live price. [Domain protection](https://panamaregistrar.com/domain-protection/) registers the domain in the name of DomaineGoat LLC, so the registration record and WHOIS/RDAP show our company, never you, and you can take it back in your own name for free. A transfer lock is on, and any transfer or DNS change must be confirmed from your account. We then hold only your email, and a person reads every complaint before any action on the domain; that review exists only with the option. It does not move the registry or change its courts.

## Which dispute policy applies to .live?

.live follows the UDRP and the URS, as a new gTLD. Copyright notices are not UDRP matters; at PanamaRegistrar they need a Panamanian court decision before any action on the domain. A trademark claim against a .live name goes to a UDRP provider, and we lock the domain within 2 business days of its request. Our steps for trademark cases: [UDRP and URS](https://panamaregistrar.com/udrp-and-urs/).

## How much does a .live domain cost, and how is it renewed?

At PanamaRegistrar, as of October 2026, .live costs $29.99/year; renewal is $29.99/year, and a transfer $29.99 with one year added, as ICANN rules provide for generic extensions. Term: 1 to 10 years. Payment is in crypto (BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC) from a prepaid balance, minimum top-up $25. Every extension: [price list](https://panamaregistrar.com/pricing/).

## .live questions

### Will a DMCA notice get my .live streaming domain suspended?

Not at PanamaRegistrar. A copyright notice alone does not lead to a takedown: it needs a decision from a Panamanian court. Your host has its own rules. See [DMCA notices](https://panamaregistrar.com/dmca-notices/). The registry, in the United States, is bound by US court orders.

### Who is Dog Beach, LLC?

It is the registry company of .live listed by IANA, care of Identity Digital Inc. in Bellevue, Washington. Our dataset groups it with Identity Digital, which is also the technical operator. Dog Beach also holds .news.

### Is .live open to anyone?

Yes. There is no eligibility rule, and terms run from 1 to 10 years. PanamaRegistrar asks for one verified email per domain, no ID. The price is the same for the first year, each renewal and a transfer.

### Can PanamaRegistrar stop the .live registry from acting on a court order?

No. The .live registry, Dog Beach, LLC (Identity Digital), keeps its own copy of the registration and applies the law of its own country. PanamaRegistrar decides only what its own service does: we act on Panamanian court orders, not on unverified complaints. Our registrar partner also keeps its own legal duties. We tell you when we learn of a registry-level action, unless the law or the order forbids it. See the [registry jurisdiction index](https://panamaregistrar.com/registry-jurisdiction/).

### How do I pay for a .live domain?

In crypto only: BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC. Top up your balance (minimum $25), then register the .live domain from it at $29.99/year. Send the exact amount on the exact network; the top-up is credited after the network confirmations. No ID and no KYC: one verified email per domain, never published.
