About the .BAND domain

What is the .BAND domain?

The .band is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) managed by Identity Digital. It was delegated by ICANN in 2015. Its semantic proposition is direct and musical: 'band' is the English term for a music group, widely recognised globally regardless of native language. It is the most obvious and natural extension for music groups, bands of all genres, artists performing in band format and projects related to group music. It also applies for fan pages, fan bases and any project orbiting around an artist or band. Fixed price of $24.99/year at registration and renewal. No restrictions.

Frequently asked questions about the .BAND domain

Is .band recognised by music platforms?

Yes. Spotify, Apple Music, Bandcamp and other music platforms do not discriminate by TLD when generating links to artists. Your URL yourname.band works perfectly as an official website linked from your band's profile on any platform.

Does .band have a fixed price at registration and renewal?

Yes. The .band maintains the same price of $24.99/year at both initial registration and renewals.

Does .band rank well on Google for band searches?

Google treats .band like any gTLD. For searches of a band's name, .band may appear well positioned by having direct semantic coherence between the extension and the type of artist.

Does .band work for a solo artist who performs with a band?

Yes. If your artistic proposition is primarily in band format even though you have an individual stage name, .band can be coherent with your live performance proposition.

What is the difference between .band and .music?

The .band ($24.99/year) is more specific: only music groups. The .music is more generic for the music industry in general but has an industry verification process and higher price (~$35.99/year). For a band, .band is more precise and more affordable.

Can I transfer my .band domain to miHosting?

Yes. The transfer has no additional management cost. You need the authorisation code (Auth Code) from your current registrar. The process takes 5 to 7 business days.
