.music registration
.music is designed for people and organizations with a genuine connection to the music industry. Eligible registrants include musicians, bands, creators, rights holders, music businesses, community members, industry professionals, aspiring artists, and established businesses that use music in their activities. Applicants must select the eligibility category that best describes them. Domains are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. After registration, the holder must verify their identity through id.music. Depending on the selected eligibility category, supporting documents may be required. The registry may audit registrations and delete a domain if the holder cannot demonstrate the required music-industry connection or history with the registered name. A .music name may contain from 1 to 63 characters. It gives artists, labels, publishers, venues, agencies, music communities, and related businesses an address that clearly communicates their field. It can support an official artist site, release catalogue, fan community, professional portfolio, event platform, or music-focused service. To transfer a .music domain to host.yt, disable the transfer lock and request the authorization code from the current registrar. The transfer can take several days and adds one year to the domain’s existing expiry date. Changing the holder requires authentication by both the current and future holders; the request expires if validation is not completed within five days.

Frequently asked questions
What does the .music extension stand for?
music identifies websites connected with the music industry and its communities. It is intended for artists, creators, rights holders, professionals, organizations, businesses, and other eligible participants. The extension helps visitors recognize that a domain represents a music-related identity, activity, catalogue, service, or project.
Who can register a .music domain?
Registration is reserved for applicants with a qualifying connection to the music industry and a history with the requested domain name. Eligible categories include artists, intellectual-property holders, music-community members, music businesses, industry professionals, aspiring creators, and established businesses using music as part of their activities.
Are there registration restrictions or required documents for .music?
Yes. Every applicant must select an eligibility type and complete identity verification after registration through id.music. Supporting documents may be requested for categories such as artists, music businesses, professionals, intellectual-property holders, and music-community members. The registry can audit registrations and remove domains whose eligibility cannot be confirmed.
Is .music a good choice, and what projects suit it?
music is a strong fit when the project has a legitimate music-industry connection. Suitable uses include artist and band websites, label catalogues, publishing services, professional portfolios, music communities, event platforms, fan destinations, and music-related businesses. Registrants must be prepared to verify their identity and eligibility.
When does .music make more sense than .com?
music makes more sense when immediate music-sector identification is valuable and the registrant meets the eligibility rules. .com is broader and may suit a general-purpose company or product better. The trade-off is focus versus flexibility: .music signals a specific field but requires verification and an ongoing qualifying connection.
How long does .music registration take, and how long does it last?
music domains are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis, but post-registration identity verification is required and eligibility checks may add time. The domain remains registered for the term confirmed in the order, subject to renewal and continued compliance with the registry’s eligibility requirements.
How do I transfer a .music domain to host.yt?
Disable transfer protection at the current registrar, obtain the domain’s authorization code, and submit the transfer to host.yt. Completion may take several days. Once finalized, one year is added to the existing expiry date. This process transfers registrar management and does not itself change the registered holder.
