Frequently asked questions about the .DESIGN domain
Why does .design cost more than other creative extensions?
The .design is an extension with high demand in the creative industry and premium positioning. Identity Digital maintains a higher price ($49.99/year) than similar extensions like .studio ($25.99) precisely because its sector specificity and recognition among professional designers justifies that positioning price.
Does .design rank well on Google for design searches?
Google treats .design like any gTLD. However, in the design sector, having a yourname.design URL can significantly improve CTR in searches for designers and design agencies, by communicating the specialisation from the first impression.
Does .design have a fixed price at registration and renewal?
Yes. The .design maintains the same price of $49.99/year at both initial registration and renewals. No surprises in the second year.
Is .design or .studio better for a creative agency?
It depends on positioning. If design is the central and differentiating practice, .design declares that specialisation more precisely. If the agency is broader (design + development + strategy), .studio may be more versatile. For pure designers, .design is the option of greatest sector coherence.
Do software product designers use .design?
Yes. The .design has wide adoption among UX, UI and digital product designers. Extensions like ux.design or ui.design are recognised constructions in the product and digital product design community.
Can I transfer my .design 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.
