Musicians, music labels, and related companies have the opportunity to secure a complimentary .MUSIC domain name by Tuesday, September 10th. This initiative is designed to enhance the digital presence of music professionals and is facilitated by Hypebot, a respected resource within the music industry.
The registration process is accompanied by a verified identity safeguard through trusted partners, ensuring the protection of registrants’ identities. While securing a .MUSIC domain is free, there is a nominal one-time identity verification fee of $1.99. This fee is refundable if the selected domain name is already taken. Reports suggest that Hypebot is among the first platforms to offer this service with no upfront costs and does not profit from these transactions.
Noteworthy artists like Taylor Swift and Lady Gaga have already taken advantage of this initiative, showcasing its appeal among influencers in the music business. The global launch of the .MUSIC domain is set for October, with specific retail pricing yet to be determined by ICANN-accredited domain registrars and resellers.
Interested individuals can register for their .MUSIC domain here. Additionally, readers are encouraged to explore further insights into the music industry from Bruce Houghton, Hypebot’s founder and also a Senior Advisor at Bandsintown, who serves as a professor at Berklee College Of Music.
