## How .live is priced

Every one of the 5 registrars whose .live pricing we have verified discounts the first year. The median renewal is 10.8× the first-year price, so the advertised figure is the least useful number when comparing .live sellers. Verified renewals run $26.08 to $39.48 a year.

An introductory price 10.8× below the renewal is a rate you pay once. Compare .live on the renewal column, or on the three-year total.

Computed from the 5 verified .live prices this site holds, not from every registrar selling .live.
