Frequently asked questions about the .ART domain
Does the Prado Museum use a .art domain?
Yes. The Prado Museum has prado.art registered, as does the Louvre (louvre.art) and the MoMA (moma.art). The adoption of .art by some of the world's most important cultural institutions validates the extension in the sector. This does not mean these are their primary domains — most still use their main .com or ccTLD — but the institutional presence in .art reinforces the extension's positioning.
Can anyone register a .art?
Yes, with no restrictions. Any artist, studio, gallery, museum, platform or company can register a .art without having to demonstrate any connection to the art world.
Does Google have a .art domain?
Yes. Google Arts & Culture uses google.art as a complement to its arts.google.com platform — the world's largest digital art collection with over 3,000 museum institutions.
Does .art rank well on Google for art-related searches?
Google treats .art like any other gTLD with no algorithmic advantage based on the extension. However, semantic coherence can improve CTR for art, gallery and creativity searches. An artist with yourname.art may achieve better click-through rates than with yourname-portfolio.com.
What is the difference between .art and .design?
The .art ($13.99/year) is more affordable and has a broader positioning — everything related to artistic and cultural expression. The .design ($49.99/year) is more expensive and more oriented to professional design with commercial intent: design agencies, UX/UI, branding. For a visual artist, .art is more coherent; for a graphic design agency, .design may be more precise.
Can I transfer my .art domain to miHosting?
Yes. The transfer has no additional cost. You need the authorisation code (Auth Code) from your current registrar. The process takes 5 to 7 business days.
