How is a .music TLD different from other domains?
Unlike .COM or .ORG, a .music top level domain, is meant to be used with the global music community and industry. Verified .music domain name owners have exclusive access to a music services platform, allowing them to engage with artists, fans, and music industry professionals.
As long as you are promoting music-related content, or using it in connection with the Music Hub, you can utilize your .music domain like any other domain name.
Who can register a .music domain?
To buy .music domain, individuals who are musicians, bands, or music industry professionals can qualify with their legal name.
Organizations, on the other hand, can qualify with their established music brand or company name through registered trademarks and other government-issued documentation.
It is necessary to have a nexus with the global music community for eligibility.

This platform, launched by the .music registry and its partners, offers a secure and standardized way for brands, artists, music professionals, and companies with a verified .music ID to create unique profiles. These profiles can showcase images, content, and offerings.
Additionally, fans can log in to my.music, a dedicated dashboard, to follow their favorite artists and businesses.
