We live in times when even our grandmothers know what “personal branding” is, and .ART is a digital shortcut to your positioning online. What differentiates a hooligan from an artist? An act of vandalism from a performance? A mass market product from an installation? A graffiti from an art object? For one, there is always talent and creative genius. But there is always some kind of platform, a reputable source of information that identifies one as an artist. Create your own platform with .ART, declare yourself and your creative status in an online space immediately identifiable with art.
Because .ART is a new gTLD that has only been around for a couple of years, there is still an wide choice of short, memorable and numerical domain names. You can use .ART to get the domain name you want, or to shorten your existing one. While your art is what makes you unique, a strong or quirky domain name can create a powerful impression. And while geo domain extensions might seem like a good option, why limit yourself? Art is always global, it knows no borders and nationalities – especially in the borderless ocean of digital information.
.com has been around since 1985 (wow!), it is as old as the internet itself. By getting a .ART domain you put yourself on the leading edge of a growing trend. Think about your target audience: interested in the arts, responsive to beauty, and open to innovation – they will be able to perceive and appreciate the elegance of your .ART choice.
Using a new domain ending will not hurt your search presence. Moreover, according to a recent study (The Domain Name Association, April 2017) there is evidence that the relevance of the words in the domain name and extension helps web pages to rank better for specific keywords.
.ART is not just another domain name. Our mission is to collaborate with the artistic and cultural community to invent new and exciting digital services in the name of art and creativity. .ART does this through sponsorship of innovation in art and tech industries, managing various awards and special projects. By getting a .ART domain, you join a growing community of like-minded individuals, sharing their work and collaborating to make the world a more creative place.
