Bring your space online with a .studio domain

.studio is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) commonly used by music, photography, and fitness studios, but it can also be a go-to choice for the real estate industry offering studio flats.

A .studio domain name is available to register for everyone globally. It’s the perfect extension whether you have a creative soul and want to create art or if you’re a sales-oriented real estate agent.

.studio domains are popular within the creative industry, specifically ones that run studios like photographers and painters. Compared to TLDs like .com or .net, this extension is less prevalent, with only 0.1% of all websites worldwide using it. But that’s its edge – you won’t have to worry about taken domain names and be able to choose from more options that better suit your identity.

The .studio TLD is a secure domain extension. It’s not known as an abused domain extension unlike ones widely used for scams such as .ml or .tk. Just be sure you buy the domain from a reputable registrar like Hostinger, and you’re good to go.

To create a .studio website, purchase a hosting service and check the general availability of your preferred domain name. Buy from reputable hosting providers like Hostinger to gather your domain and hosting in one place and get additional value, like a free SSL certificate that secures your website.

Then, install a content management system (CMS) – the choice is up to you, but our recommendation is WordPress. Pick a theme you like, customize it, and add content to attract visitors and improve search rankings. Now, you have a beautiful .studio website to call yours.

Get a .studio domain for US$ 12.99 for the first year of your domain registration. This price also comes with domain privacy protection that keeps your personal details in the WHOIS database, including the registrant’s name and name servers, safe from identity theft.

Enter the .studio domain name you want to bring to Hostinger on our Transfer domain page. Then, proceed with the payment and submit the EPP code. We will take care of the process for you.

Before transferring your .studio domain name to us, ensure you have full ownership and that it is active and older than 60 days.

If you registered a .studio domain name at Hostinger, renew it on the Billing -> Services page on our hPanel. Click the Renew now button and pay the renewal cost of US$ 46.99. Note that domain renewal is only possible two months before the expiration date, so you’ll see the button only if this action is available.

But what if you passed the expiration date? No need to panic. If it’s still within the grace period, the Renew button will still work. Contact our Customer Success team while the domain is in the redemption period – this process will require an additional fee.

To relieve the anxiety about missing the grace period, just have auto-renew enabled. It’s also possible to transfer your .studio domain to Hostinger and renew it here if you’ve registered it elsewhere.
