YourName.music - The .MUSIC Top-Level Domain Extension

.MUSIC is the exclusive, global community-based generic top-level domain (gTLD) name extension that gives music entities a unique identity online and a verified industry standard for official music websites. The specialized .MUSIC web address URL enhances a brand's visibility online. It ensures that .MUSIC websites are associated with a memorable, self-explanatory and trusted badge restricted to the music community: www.YourName.music


By utilizing the root of the Internet Domain Name System (DNS), the .MUSIC Top-Level Domain brings consistency, organization and centralization in the music industry as well as ensures trust, credibility, and consumer safety by verifying that the rightful, legitimate music entities own their domain name so that monies flow to the pockets of the artists not unlicensed websites.

The .MUSIC domain paves the way for the next-generation of the Internet and the future of music, by building a home to everything related to music. Since 2005, under the slogan “We Are Music,” .MUSIC has embarked upon a global communication outreach campaign to launch the .MUSIC top-level domain name and its Initiative. The .MUSIC Initiative’s mission is focused on:

• Music education and the study of music in school curriculum;
• Fighting piracy and protecting trademarks & music intellectual capital;
• Musicians' welfare, rights & fair compensation;
• Enriching society with artistic and cultural diversity; and
• Innovation in both the music and Internet space

.MUSIC will contribute proceeds from its domain name registrations to select trusted not-for-profit organizations that support its music community mission, core values and 5 initiatives.

Join musicians, bands, composers, producers, industry professionals, music companies, trade organizations, digital aggregators, government arts councils, educational institutions & millions of supporters of the .MUSIC initiative to help the music community. Sign the petition:
