About .indie

The .indie domain extension gives independent people and groups a clear home on the web. Indie most often means independent, and it can also mean small or local, so the name suits anyone who works on their own terms.

This top-level domain fits creative and commercial work alike. Typical uses include portfolio sites for artists, musicians and filmmakers, storefronts for small retailers, and project pages for developers and publishers. Entrepreneurs and community groups can also use it for their own sites.

People who make or sell things outside the big institutions can use .indie to show where they stand. You can build a personal site, a label page, a studio site or a local project hub, and the name stays flexible as new kinds of independent work appear.
