Musicians, labels, and music-related companies have a unique opportunity to secure a free .MUSIC domain name until Tuesday, September 10th. The initiative aims to bolster the digital presence of music professionals and 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. Though the domain registration is free, there is a one-time identity verification charge of $1.99, which is refundable if the desired domain cannot be secured. Hypebot, which has emerged as one of the first platforms to offer this service free of charge, does not profit from this transaction, according to reports.
Notable artists such as Taylor Swift and Lady Gaga have already taken advantage of this opportunity, highlighting its appeal among industry greats. The global launch of the .MUSIC domain is scheduled for October, with retail prices determined by ICANN-accredited domain registrars and resellers.
For those interested in securing their .MUSIC domain, the registration can be completed here.
