Why .bio?
Choose a .bio domain name
Created in the early 2010s in order to offer a more diverse alternative to traditional domain endings (like .com and .net) that were getting increasingly saturated, .bio is in keeping with new societal attitudes and aspirations that aim to consume better while respecting the planet and paying attention to the ecological impact of our actions. This domain ending is thus used in many business sectors that are part of this increased awareness: agricultural and food businesses, clothing and cosmetics manufacturers, even certain scientific organizations and endeavours.
.bio is more relevant than ever
Organic agriculture and production has seen remarkable growth in the last decade or so: successive ecological catastrophes and overconsumption of certain resources have led many to reconsider their consumption habits, which has driven businesses to sell new products to keep up with demand, most of all in developed countries with stable economies.
An international identity with .bio
Since the term "bio" is used across languages, a .bio domain name allows you to easily identify yourself as a business or an individual that respects certain values. Internet users can trust a .bio website, first of all from a security perspective, but also because it guarantees that they'll be navigating to a site that aligns with their values. In that way, the .bio domain ending lets you reassure your future website's visitors on multiple fronts.
