Musicians, music labels, and related companies have a unique opportunity to secure a complimentary .MUSIC domain name, with the registration deadline set for Tuesday, September 10th. This initiative aims to enhance the digital presence of music professionals and is facilitated by Hypebot, a well-respected resource within the music industry.
The registration process ensures the protection of registrants’ identities through trusted partners with a verified identity safeguard. While obtaining a .MUSIC domain is free, users must pay a nominal one-time identity verification fee of $1.99. This fee is refundable if the chosen domain name is already taken. Hypebot is among the first platforms to offer this service without upfront costs, explicitly stating that it does not profit from these transactions.
Notable artists, including Taylor Swift and Lady Gaga, have already embraced this initiative, suggesting its appeal among influential figures in the music industry. The worldwide launch of the .MUSIC domain is set for October, with specific retail pricing still to be determined by ICANN-accredited domain registrars and resellers.
Interested individuals can register for their .MUSIC domain here. Additionally, readers are invited to explore further insights into the music industry from Bruce Houghton, the founder of Hypebot and Senior Advisor at Bandsintown, who is also a professor at Berklee College Of Music.
