Please enter your desired domain name:
Do you work professionally in music? Are you passionate about this world and want to express that passion to the rest of the planet? .MUSIC is the perfect and exclusive domain for creating your website in any of these cases. This domain is available starting October 8, 2024.

Whether you're a music producer, record label, musician, singer, or enthusiast, using a .music domain will allow you to show the rest of the web that you're passionate about music.

The .music domain is a restricted domain that imposes certain requirements to register domains under this category. If you don't meet these requirements, unfortunately, you will not be able to complete the registration process and may lose the money invested. We recommend reviewing the terms and conditions for nexus or connection with the requested domain carefully.

Unique Tools and Features of the .music Domain


When registering your domain name under .music, you will gain access to some features that make this extension unique. These are optional tools created by .music to help you present yourself to the world more easily than with other domains. These include:

  • Music SmartBadge: All .music domains are a universal identifier in the form of a QR code, which you can use anywhere. Your fans and followers can use it to authenticate information, merchandise, etc.

  • Music SmartPage: An added layer of security. You will have a profile that unifies all verified information about you, your music, your band/group, or organization, allowing you to have a public profile encompassing all this information.

  • Future Services: .music is preparing additional services that will be implemented in the near future, such as one-click distribution of your song lyrics, discounts on travel for artists like you, discounts on insurance for your instruments and equipment, and much more.



Requirements to Register a .music Domain



This type of domain (.music) is known as a "community TLD" or community domain, similar to previous examples like the .cat domains, which were the first of their kind to be launched. When applying for a .music domain, you must ensure you meet the following::


  • Owner Identity Verification: Once a .music domain is registered, the owner must verify their identity through the official id.music website to obtain their “MusicID.” You will need to create an account and provide the same information you provided during registration (full name, email address, postal code, and, if applicable, organization name). The registry will carry out a mandatory and automated KYC/KYB process to verify that you are indeed the person or organization you claim to be.


  • Nexus Verification: To complete the identification process, the owner must provide information about their musical profile and their connection ("nexus") to the requested .music domain. It’s important to note that you can only register the domain corresponding to your historical, commercial, or use connection with the associated domain name or brand, and you cannot register a domain without this connection.



It’s important to mention that during the verification process, .music domains will remain in "serverHold" status, meaning they will be locked and will not respond to any requests, i.e., they will be inactive until verification is completed. Remember, once the desired domain is applied for, you must create your profile and verify your data on the official website: id.music


If this verification is not successfully completed or is denied by the registry, the owner will be officially marked as "ineligible," and the registry may decide, at its discretion, to delete the requested domains without the possibility of a refund.

Individuals and Entities Eligible to Register .music Domains:



Registration of .music domains is reserved for those who belong to the music community or have a relevant connection to it. Below are the different categories of individuals and entities eligible to apply for a .music domain name:


  • Music-Related Intellectual Property Holders: Individuals and entities that own trademarks related to music.

  • Members of the Music Community: This includes organizations such as MCMOs (Music Community Member Organizations), musicians, bands, music industry professionals, and other music-related entities.

  • Musicians, Artists/Bands, and Creators: Individuals or groups who can demonstrate a track record of activity in the music field, such as artists, bands, composers, or producers.

  • Music-Based Businesses, Corporations, and Organizations: Entities with an established presence in the music community, such as record labels, publishers, trade associations, collective management organizations, digital distributors, service providers, vendors, and music-related educational entities.

  • Consultants, Agents, Managers, or Professionals Representing the Above Categories: Individuals who work on behalf of any of the above categories and can support their relationship with documents or contracts.



Additionally, there is a special classification for those who do not meet the above requirements but can still demonstrate a general connection to the music community when applying for the .music domain. These are:


  • Non-Music Related Companies, Firms, and Organizations: Companies with a strong business record outside the music industry but who wish to use music as part of their future business, marketing, or promotional activities.

  • Aspiring Musicians, Artists/Bands, and Creators: Individuals or groups who have a demonstrable intention of pursuing music-related activities, such as working as artists, bands, composers, or producers.
