Register a .studio Domain From 19.13 USD
Creative. Focused. Distinct.
A Name That Signals Your Craft.
Think of the address that sits on your portfolio, invoice footer or client proposal. .studio places that name under an ending built for makers and creative teams. For a practice such as frame.studio, it gathers project enquiries, booking requests and returning collaborators into one recognisable destination.
- Lead with the name clients already use. Choose your studio or agency title, or a clean variation, instead of a long social handle.
- Make the focus obvious. Design, photo, film, music or product studios can all use .studio across printed and digital channels.
- Leave room to expand. Start with a simple showcase site; add booking, client portals or shop features later without changing the core address.

Match the ending to your practice
.studio, .design or .com?
Who do you expect to reach most often? A specialist creative studio, a broader design practice and an international brand may prefer different endings. Weigh that audience against name availability and long-term cost.
| Align the Ending with Your Work | .studioCreative focus | .designDesign-led | .comBroad reach |
|---|---|---|---|
| Typical Audience | Studios, agencies & makers | Designers & creative teams | Clients across multiple markets |

Practical ways the address works
A .studio Domain for the Practice You Are Building
A domain earns its place when people actually use it. These examples show how one address can support a portfolio, client enquiries or a growing creative business.
Find Your .studioIndependent Studio
Put Your Work Where Clients Look
Offer one consistent address for projects, process notes and first contact.
Agency & Team
Open a Digital Front Door
Connect the domain to case studies, team pages and enquiry forms, then print it on proposals and invoices.
Photo & Film
Help Clients Find the Right Work
Share selected projects, booking details and availability without relying only on social feeds.
Name Consistency
Cover the Ways People Search
When both spellings are free, register .studio and a matching general ending, then point one to the other.
After the name is secured
.studio Domain Management, Made Clear
Once registered, the address needs instructions about where visitors and messages should go. Use the account tools to keep those connections current, monitor the registration and prepare for any future move.
DNS management
Enter the records supplied by your website platform. Confirm the target carefully before overwriting an existing entry.
Nameserver control
Prefer another provider’s DNS? Apply its nameservers so that provider answers queries for the address.
Renewal management
Note the registration end date early enough to arrange payment and keep the public-facing name active.
Transfer support
Request guidance on shifting registrar responsibility, including the steps the registry expects.
Day-to-day control
Why Manage Your .studio Domain with Truehost?
Buying the name is the first step. These account features help you connect services, handle messages and keep reliable access to the address your clients rely on.
One-click Cloudflare push
Use the Cloudflare push option to reduce manual DNS entry when linking that service to your registration.
Clear First-Year Pricing
19.13 USD / first year
See the live first-year figure before finalising a studio name or ordering printed materials.
Transparent Renewal Cost
TSh 183,846 / year
Renewal cost appears separately, so you can plan beyond any introductory registration rate.
Free DNS management
Update website targets and verification records without purchasing a separate DNS-management product.
Free email forwarding
A forwarder sends incoming messages to an inbox you already use; it does not replace a full hosted mailbox.
2FA and domain lock
Enable two-factor authentication and available domain locks to reduce the chance of unauthorised account or transfer activity.
Free business email
A no-cost mailbox option is planned. Until it arrives, choose a suitable paid service if your practice needs one now.
Free website builder
A free builder is also on the roadmap; do not treat it as available when budgeting for a site you need today.
Not available yet: the roadmap items above form no part of the current purchase. They should not be counted as included email hosting or an included website-building plan.
Connect the client journey
How to Put Your .studio Domain to Work
A client may first discover your work online, send a brief and later review progress. Each step can share the same identity. Apply each service’s DNS requirements; different providers can still operate behind one domain.
- Invite people to explore the practice at frame.studio.
- Receive enquiries via [email protected].
- Offer dedicated spaces such as work.frame.studio and clients.frame.studio.

| View project work | work.frame.studio | Case studies, stills and project details |

.studio Domain Name Rules
Write the exact spelling before you search. The label to the left of .studio must follow the registry’s format rules, and a correctly formed spelling can still be reserved or already held by someone else.
Accepted in a .studio name
Not accepted
Check Sample Spellings
| Candidate | Format Check | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
frame.studio | Valid spelling | Uses only permitted characters |
frame-studio24.studio | Valid spelling | Combines letters, a middle hyphen and digits |
-frame.studio | Invalid spelling | A leading hyphen breaks the format rule |
frame_studio.studio | Invalid spelling | The underscore falls outside the allowed character set |
Gather the details you will need
Your .studio Registration Checklist
Individuals, studios and organisations may apply for .studio. No professional credential or membership is required. Provide accurate details for the person or body that will hold the registration.
Information you need
What registration does not supply
Before you register
Check related endings
Think about how someone who hears your studio name might type it. Search any important variation before printing an address you may later want to change.
Review existing rights
A successful availability check is not a trade-mark clearance. Look at existing practices and relevant rights before adopting a name for public use.
Use a lasting email address
Select an inbox you can still reach even if this domain later becomes unavailable. That simplifies registration queries and urgent account notices.

Protect a working address
What Happens If .studio Expires?
An expired address can interrupt more than a website: contact forms, client links and project deliveries may all depend on it. Arrange renewal before the end date. The registry’s recovery window is a final chance, not a planned renewal method.
Active
Confirm that payment arrangements and contact details remain usable while the registration is current.
Renewal Due
The displayed renewal charge is TSh 183,846. Complete payment early, especially if approval from another person is required.
Expired
During the initial grace window after expiry the address may still resolve. Act at once rather than treating continued service as proof of renewal.
Recovery window
Once suspension begins, connected services stop. Recovery may still be possible for a limited time and can involve extra fees.
Cancelled
After the recovery window closes the unrenewed name is scheduled for release. Another party may then register it; recovery is no longer assured.
Select a registration period

Questions before you decide
.studio Domain FAQs
Practical answers for studios and creative teams choosing an address, connecting services or moving an existing registration.
Is .studio limited to professional studios?
No. Any individual or organisation may hold a .studio registration. There is no requirement to prove professional status or membership. The applicant must still supply accurate details and meet the registry’s terms.
Does the first-year price continue every year?
Not necessarily. The registration figure is 19.13 USD; the separate renewal figure is TSh 183,846. Plan ongoing costs from the renewal amount and review the payable total before each order.
Does .studio improve search rankings?
No ending guarantees a ranking position. Choose an address that fits your practice, then focus on useful content, a usable website and a clear description of the work. The domain should support that work, not replace it.
Can I register the name before the website is finished?
Yes. You can secure an available registration while the site is still being planned. Keep contact details and renewal arrangements up to date, and connect hosting when you have pages ready to publish.
Does registration include a working email inbox?
No hosted mailbox is created simply by registering an address. Choose a mailbox product if you need to send and receive studio email; a forwarding feature serves a different purpose and routes messages into an existing inbox.
Must website and email use the same provider?
No. Your website can use one compatible platform and your mail another. Apply each provider’s DNS instructions carefully so a website change does not unintentionally interrupt incoming messages.
Can I keep .studio indefinitely?
You can retain the registration by renewing it while eligible and complying with the applicable terms. It is not a one-time permanent purchase. The registry allows durations up to ten years; the options offered in your order appear at checkout.
What if my preferred studio name is already taken?
Try a clear, relevant variation that people can remember, or consider a different ending. Avoid a confusing imitation of another practice. Do not assume that an inactive-looking website means the registration is available to buy.
Should a matching .com point to the same website?
If you control both registrations, you can choose a primary address and configure the other to redirect there. Buying .studio does not automatically give you .com; check and acquire the matching registration separately if it matters to your practice.
Why must registration details stay accurate?
The registry or registrar may need to contact you about the registration. Outdated details can make validation, account recovery and urgent notices harder to handle. Update them when your practice moves, changes ownership or replaces its contact inbox.
Is transferring a .studio domain the same as moving hosting?
No. A registrar transfer changes who administers the registration. Website files, databases and mailboxes may remain where they are. If you also want new hosting, plan that migration separately and coordinate any DNS changes.
Can I recover a .studio after services stop?
Possibly, if the registration is still inside the registry’s recovery window. Contact the registrar promptly once expiry is noticed; once the name is fully released, recovery is no longer guaranteed and another party may register it.
