HomeDomain of the Week: .bio — Naturally Brilliant, Boldly You
Read all about the latest news at Hipposerve

Whether you’re a health guru, sustainability advocate, or just someone wanting to showcase your story, .bio is the perfect digital habitat for your personal or professional brand.

There’s something refreshingly honest about a .bio domain. It’s short. It’s personal. It tells your story. And right now, it’s also a massive 85% off — just £10.23 per year, down from the usual £68.99. Lock in this price for up to 10 years and you could save a whopping £587.60 over the decade. Not bad for a few characters, eh?

But before you snap it up, let’s dig into the quirky roots and blossoming uses of this understated domain…


A Little .bio-logy Lesson

The .bio domain was originally introduced in 2014, operated by Starting Dot, a French company with a vision to create a namespace for:

  • Biologists

  • Ecologists

  • Organic food producers

  • And basically anyone who wanted to highlight their natural, ethical, or scientific side.

But it quickly grew beyond its original intention — in fact, today, most .bio domains are used as personal bios, portfolio links, and even musician homepages.After all, “bio” isn’t just short for biology. It’s also short for biography, and that gives it a whole new life online.

Who Uses .bio — and Where?

According to domain industry trends:
The .bio domain is surprisingly popular in Germany, France, and Italy, where “bio” is a common term for organic or natural products. It’s also taken off with musicians, creators, and social influencers, thanks to tools like Link-in-Bio platforms — many now use yourname.bio as their digital calling card.


Quirky .bio domain examples in the Wild

Some real (and some delightfully imagined) uses of .bio:

  • www.greengrocer.bio – A real-life organic veg box delivery service.

  • www.singsongwriter.bio – Perfect for your gig schedule and Spotify links.

  • www.gandalf.bio – “A short bio about a very long life.” (Okay, we made this one up — but how cool would that be?)

  • www.darwin.bio – Evolution explained, on one tidy domain.

  • www.tinypots.bio – A micro-farm showing off their urban garden hacks.

  • www.breathe.bio – A yoga teacher’s serene online presence.

Basically, if you exist, you qualify.
