Musicians, labels, and music-related companies now have the unique opportunity to secure a free .MUSIC domain name until Tuesday, September 10th. This initiative, aimed at bolstering the digital presence of music professionals, is being facilitated by Hypebot, an industry leader in music business resources.
The .MUSIC domain utilizes verified registration processes through trusted partners, ensuring that the identities of the registrants are secured. While the domain registration itself is free, a one-time identity verification charge of $1.99 applies. This fee is refundable should the desired domain name prove unavailable. Reports indicate that Hypebot, which has emerged as one of the first platforms to offer this service without charge, does not profit from this transaction.
Notable artists including Taylor Swift and Lady Gaga have already taken advantage of this promotional opportunity, underscoring its appeal among industry luminaries. The global launch of the .MUSIC domain is set for October, with retail prices to be determined by ICANN-accredited domain registrars and resellers.
For those interested in securing their .MUSIC domain, registration can be completed here.
