Creative Domains for Artists, Designers & Photographers

With over 300 industry-specific top-level domains (TLDs) available today, creatives have more tools than ever to shape their online identity. Search engines recognize many of these extensions as topical indicators, helping with SEO from the start. Through membership-based pricing, NicNames offers domains at cost, includes free WHOIS privacy, and removes hidden fees—allowing photographers, illustrators, and designers to focus on visibility without overspending.

Budget-Friendly Gems

If you’re launching your first portfolio or testing a niche project, domains like .PICS, .PHOTO, .PHOTOS, .GRAPHICS, and .DIGITAL offer low-cost entry points without compromising on clarity. These extensions make it obvious that your website is visually driven and allow you to claim concise, memorable names that are still widely available.

Use cases: a photography student showcasing their first projects, a digital artist building a fanbase, or a designer promoting downloadable templates.

Prestige & Marketing Firepower

For those building premium brands, .ART and .DESIGN carry global recognition and professional weight. Similarly, .PHOTOGRAPHY and .STUDIO signal clear intent and professionalism, making them ideal for client-facing websites or high-traffic portfolio hubs. These extensions are especially valuable when trust and first impressions are critical.

Use cases: an art collective curating exhibitions, a creative agency pitching to corporate clients, or a wedding photographer offering professional packages.

The Balanced Picks

Need something between budget and prestige? .GALLERY, .MEDIA, .WORKS, and the often-available .ARTIST strike the right balance. These domains sound credible, feel modern, and are flexible enough to support evolving careers—whether you’re freelancing, teaching, or expanding into e-commerce.

Use cases: an illustrator offering online courses, a small production studio publishing video content, or a multidisciplinary creator managing a personal brand across formats.

NicNames memberships unlock bulk domain checks, AI-powered name suggestions, and at-cost renewals and SSL certificates—making it easier to brainstorm, secure, and maintain your online presence.
