About the .STUDIO domain

What is the .STUDIO domain?

The .studio is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) managed by Identity Digital (formerly Donuts Inc., merged with Afilias in 2022). It was delegated by ICANN in 2014. Its semantic proposition is elegant and versatile: a 'studio' is simultaneously a physical creative workspace (photography studio, recording studio, architecture studio) and an independent creative company (design studio, film studio). This makes it especially powerful for creative professionals and agencies wanting a URL that communicates both the space and the practice. Fixed price of $25.99/year at registration and renewal. No restrictions.

Frequently asked questions about the .STUDIO domain

Does .studio work for a yoga or pilates studio?

Yes. The term 'studio' is widely used in the boutique fitness sector for yoga, pilates, barre, crossfit and similar spaces. A domain yourstudio.studio is perfectly coherent and recognisable for the sector.

What is the difference between .studio and .design?

The .studio ($25.99/year) is broader: it covers any type of creative studio. The .design ($49.99/year) is more specific to the graphic, industrial or digital design sector. If you are a design studio, both work; if you are a photographer or musician, .studio is more coherent.

Does .studio rank well on Google?

Yes. Google treats .studio like any generic gTLD without advantage or penalty. The semantic coherence between the extension and the type of business can improve CTR in search results.

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

Yes. The .studio maintains the same price of $25.99/year at both initial registration and renewals. No increases in the second year.

Is .studio or .com better for my creative portfolio?

It depends on the goal. yourname.studio immediately communicates that you are a creative professional and can differentiate you. yourname.com has greater recognition but adds no semantic context about your activity. For creatives building personal brands, .studio can be more powerful in creative niches.

Can I transfer my .studio 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.

The .studio domain turns a URL into a declaration of creative identity, managed by Identity Digital since 2014 with a fixed price of $25.99/year at registration and renewal. Photographers, designers, architects, musicians, audiovisual production companies and fitness studios share a common element: they all work in or from a 'studio'. The .studio communicates that space of practice and creation without needing to add it to the name. The most powerful constructions are simple: yourname.studio, youragency.studio, design.studio. No restrictions. Google treats it like any gTLD. Registering a .studio domain at miHosting costs $25.99/year with managed DNS, @yourstudio.studio email and real technical support. If your work is created in a studio — or if your company is itself a creative studio — .studio communicates that with a single word. Combine it with our professional hosting to show your work to the world.
