@live Address Registration – part 42 [Does not work now]

Update: This method does not work now. We’ll keep you posted on when they become available again.

Last week we briefly saw the @live.com registration open for an hour and just as quickly got closed. Unfortunately, at that time, a lot of you didn’t get chance to register your @live.com address. Well, try again smile_wink 

  1. Go to www.hotmail.com, click on Sign up, and choose a free account, as before.
  2. Now, you will be taken to a signup page that shows an @hotmail.com domain for your email address.
  3. Go to the address bar, make hmnewuser.aspx read newuser.aspx and look along until you see &hm=1, after removing that hit enter.
  4. Your @hotmail magically becomes @live.

So, for example, https://signup.live.com/hmnewuser.aspx?mkt=en-us&revipc=US&ts=3967950&sh=62Zm&hm=1&ru=http%3a%2f%2fmail.live.com%2f%3fnewuser%3dyes&rx=http%3a%2f%2fget.live.com%2fmail%2foverview&rollrs=04&lic=1 

becomes

https://signup.live.com/newuser.aspx?mkt=en-us&revipc=US&ts=3967973&sh=P1iS&ru=http%3a%2f%2fmail.live.com%2f%3fnewuser%3dyes&rx=http%3a%2f%2fget.live.com%2fmail%2foverview&rollrs=04&lic=1 

(this second link probably won’t work, but just follow the instructions). Good luck.

    I just get the @windowslive.com adresses, but I’d really like to have a @live.com adress ….

  • Coffee247

    Fantastic! I just got an @live.com thank you for passing on the info!

  • ThePhoenix

    No fair, it don’t work anymore, please can someone find another way around, I am always just too late by time I spot the workaround. Damn it !

  • m1cr0n

    Cool! I have a pedrojacques@livemail.com.br! :)

  • ThePhoenix

    How did you get it to work, It wont work any more for me following those instructions

  • http://www.jasonwilkerson.com Jason_Wilkerson

    Worked for me! Thanks LiveSide!

  • ThePhoenix

    Got myself a live.co.uk one after a lot of faffing, can’t seem to find a combination of country and language changes to get me a .com one.

    Help please.

  • G-Z

    why do have some people @live.com, some @windowslive.com and some @livemail.com? What are they doing different?

  • http://scottisafool.spaces.live.com ScottIsAFool

    It’s probably a regional thing.

  • Anony33

    Which language I have to select in my Internet Explorer to get @windowslive.com and @livemail.com? I just get @live.com!!
    Please help!

  • Mephiles

    I don’t think we’re ment to know that :p

  • ThePhoenix

    Anony33, can you copy the URL that gives you the @Live options and paste it here ?

  • http://scottisafool.spaces.live.com ScottIsAFool

    I don’t think that will work. I think there is some kind of session handling that stops links being posted.

  • Anony33

    [quote]I don’t think we’re ment to know that :p[/quote]
    Well we should just know where are the people that get @livemail.com and @windowslive.com from.
    To get @live.com you have to be from USA, now people with @livemail.com and @windowslive.com please tell us where are you from so we can change the language in our browser and get those too.

  • Mirek2

    We are working to fix a temporary problem with our sign-up service.
    Please try again.
    Error code: 10

    :(

  • http://scottisafool.spaces.live.com ScottIsAFool

    Still working here Mirek. Or are you getting that error after filling in your details and clicking submit?

  • senthil

    Yes it is working still, any idea how to create @livemail.com ?

  • Chris

    Guys, if you want a certain suffix (live.com as opposed to live.co.uk) you need to visit the corresponding get.live.com url and then click signup.

    Live.com: http://get.live.com/en-us/mail/overview

  • Anony33

    @Chris: yea but which is the page for @livemail.com and @windowslive.com?

  • http://scottisafool.spaces.live.com ScottIsAFool

    To follow on from what Chris said, for live.com it would be http://get.live.com/en-us/mail/options then click on free account. SL

  • ThePhoenix

    Tried both of those, just sends me through to get.live.com when I alter the URL

  • senthil

    I got the trick. After following the above steps, use the javascript method to register any domain specific email ids.

    Note: livemail.com is not registered by microsoft, so no live hotmail box associated with it.

    javascript:function r(q){} function s(q){e[q] = new Option(a[q],a[q])}; r(e = document.getElementById(“idomain”).options);r(d=”live.”);r(a = new Array(“hotmail.com”,”hotmail.co.uk”,”livemail.com”,”msn.com”,d+”com”,d+”be”,d+”co.uk”,d+”de”,d+”fr”,d+”it”/*mEss.be*/,d+”nl”)); for (i=0;i<a.length;i++){ s(i ) }alert("Success – additional domains added!");

  • senthil

    It seems they fixed it, newuser.aspx redirects to get.live.com

  • Chris

    Yup they fixed it. Hope you all got what you wanted :)

  • https://domains.live.com/members/signup.aspx?domain=live.as live.as

    Don’t worry, you can enjoy your “name@live.as” as well.
    It’s powered by Windows Live Domains.
    Just check the link I provide.
