.stream Domain Registrationfrom £45.96/yr
Why Choose a .stream Domain?
Delegated by ICANN in 2015 and operated by dot Stream Limited (a Famous Four Media subsidiary, later transferred to GRS Domains), .stream was created during the explosion of live video, music streaming and on-demand content. The extension speaks directly to broadcasters, podcasters and anyone publishing real-time media. It is unrestricted, so creators worldwide can register without proving eligibility, and the keyword sits naturally in URLs that promote live shows, video channels and audio feeds.
Ideal for:
- Twitch streamers and esports personalities building a personal hub
- Independent live music and DJ broadcasters
- Podcast networks and audio-on-demand platforms
- Live event coverage sites and sports broadcasters
- IPTV and video-on-demand startups
Things to know:
- Unrestricted — anyone, anywhere can register, with no documentation required.
- Registration terms run from 1 to 10 years and standard ICANN policies apply, including the 60-day transfer lock after registration.
- The registry reserves a tier of premium names (typically short, dictionary or high-traffic terms) at higher renewal prices, so check the quoted price before committing.

Frequently asked questions about .stream
Anyone. The .stream registry has no eligibility restrictions, so individuals, companies, charities and creators from any country can register one. You don't need to prove you run a streaming service or hold any kind of broadcasting licence — the name is yours as soon as registration completes.
You can register a .stream for any term from 1 to 10 years, and renew in the same increments. Picking a longer term locks in continuity for your channel and avoids the risk of forgetting a renewal while you're focused on producing content.
Yes. Provided the domain is at least 60 days old, unlocked at your current registrar, and you have the EPP authorisation code, you can transfer it across. The transfer adds one year to the existing expiry date, so you don't lose any time you've already paid for.
After expiry the domain enters a roughly 30-day grace period where you can renew at the standard price. It then moves into a 30-day redemption phase with a higher recovery fee, followed by a 5-day pending delete window. After that it drops back to the public pool and anyone can register it.
Yes. Free WHOIS privacy is included, which replaces your personal contact details in the public WHOIS record with forwarding contact information. This is particularly useful for solo creators who don't want their home address attached to a public broadcasting brand.
