.studio domains for €23.60 the first year, then €54.53 a year. Search below and add as many names as you need.

What is a .studio domain?

The .studio domain launched in 2015 through ICANN's new generic top-level domain programme and is now part of the Identity Digital portfolio. The word "studio" is the same in English, Romanian and many other languages, and the extension fits any work done in a studio: photography, design, music, architecture, game development or fitness.

It is open to anyone and popular in the creative industries, where a short, good-looking name matters. An address like anna.studio or lumen.studio looks great on a portfolio, a business card or a social media bio, and immediately signals creative work or studio-based services.
