The .io domain
Technically the ccTLD for the British Indian Ocean Territory, .io has been adopted widely by startups and developer tools — “io” reads as input/output.
Good to know
- Popular with startups, SaaS, and developer tooling
- Often priced higher than legacy gTLDs
- Watch renewal dates closely — premium pricing makes a lapse costly
