So… what is .rocks?
.rocks is one of the many new(ish) domain name extensions designed to give people and businesses more choice than the traditional .com or .co.uk.
The great thing about .rocks is that it’s open to everyone — no paperwork, no restrictions, no industry limitations. Whether you’re running a music festival, launching a personal brand, or just want to show your business has a bit of edge, .rocks gives you the chance to be memorable and modern.
Why would I want a .rocks domain?
Good question — and it’s one we hear often.
The truth is, a lot of the best .com domains are long gone or cost a small fortune. But with .rocks, there’s still a lot of availability. That means you’re more likely to get the domain you actually want, without needing to add random numbers or dashes to make it work.
But it’s not just about what’s available — it’s about the message you’re sending. A domain like:
… immediately stands out. It’s confident, creative, and tells your audience that you’re not afraid to do things differently.
Who is .rocks good for?
It’s a surprisingly flexible domain, and we’ve seen it used in all sorts of ways:
-
Musicians and performers – Naturally! Whether it’s a band site, a fan page, or a tour promo, .rocks says it all.
-
Fitness and lifestyle brands – Think trainers, coaches, or influencers who want something memorable and modern.
-
Consultants, speakers, educators – A personal brand with a .rocks domain is bold, but approachable.
-
Events and campaigns – Great for temporary landing pages or promotional campaigns that need to make a splash.
-
Internal company projects – Teams have used it for things like teamculture.rocks or staffhub.rocks — a nice touch if you’re trying to make your internal platforms feel less like a chore.
Basically, if you’ve got a brand or message with a bit of personality, this is a domain that fits.
Are there any restrictions?
Nope. That’s one of the nice things about .rocks — there are no usage restrictions, and no need to be in a particular country or industry. You can register it and start using it straight away.
