.studio is a generic domain for creative businesses and the people who run them: design studios, photographers, artists, music and film studios, architects, yoga and fitness studios, and independent creators. It was added to the root zone on 25 June 2015.
Rightside, a US domain company, launched .studio. Donuts bought Rightside in 2017, and in 2021 .studio moved to Dog Beach, LLC, a company within the Donuts group, which is now called Identity Digital. Identity Digital runs the registry today.
Anyone can register a .studio name. You don't need a physical studio or a registered creative business. People and organisations can register any available name through a registrar, subject to the usual rules on reserved names, trademarks and abuse.
Design and branding agencies, photography and video studios, recording studios, architects, game developers, tattoo parlours, yoga and pilates studios, and freelancers who want a professional home for their portfolio all use .studio.
A name like north.studio sounds creative without tying you to one type of work, and it fits naturally because many creative businesses already have "Studio" in their name.
.studio suits businesses that do more than one kind of creative work. The flip side is that it doesn't explain your field, so your website should clearly state your services.
If people visit you in person for a photo shoot, recording session, or class, include your address and opening hours on the site.
