The Extension
Why .io?
.io began life as one small territory's country code and turned into something quite different: the standard address for startups, SaaS products and developer tools, read everywhere as input/output. Where your buyers are technical people, .io tells them that you are as well. Thousands of product names long gone in .com are still sitting free over here.
.io renewals cost more than the classic extensions at most registrars, which is precisely why our tag carries the renewal alongside the registration before you pay. No teaser arithmetic here. What you budget is exactly what you go on paying.
Good Fit
.io works best for
- Startups and SaaS products with technical buyers
- Developer tools, APIs and documentation sites
- Short product names long since taken in .com
- Agencies registering client names for tech builds
On the Shelf
Included with every domain
Startup shorthand
Developers see .io and register you as one of their own, a signal .com cannot send.
Names still available
Being a newer extension, it still holds short, clean names that left .com long ago.
No renewal surprise
You get the year-two price up front on the tag, and on .io that matters more than most.
Common Questions
Questions about .io
Can anyone register a .io domain?
Yes. It started out as a country code, but .io accepts registrants from anywhere with no residency requirement, and the vast majority of .io sites have nothing whatever to do with the territory.
Is .io safe for a long-term business?
Among the tech-adopted extensions it is one of the most settled, carrying thousands of funded companies. Policy for any country-code extension sits with its registry, that much is true, but this one has stayed stable and mainstream for well over a decade.
Why do .io domains cost more than .com?
The registry charges a higher wholesale rate, plainly enough. We keep our own margin thin and print the renewal next to the registration, so the whole picture is on the tag before any money moves.
