The process of creating an NFT domain name<\/strong> is very easy, often cheaper than traditional domains, and offers more benefits. <\/span><\/p>\n Each address or URL that a user types into their browser corresponds to an IP address that represents a server or destination on the internet. DNS<\/strong> is managed by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) and is operated by a federation of registrars and DNS servers that is highly distributed but completely centralized.<\/span><\/p>\n A traditional domain name can only be bought or created through ICANN-approved<\/strong> registrars. Many users are able to use this system because their browsers (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge, Brave, etc.) are automatically configured to use this system.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Basically, domain platforms are made up of systems that allow systems to share information (like websites) and systems that allow users to search (like browsers).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n It’s unlikely that a centralized system will suit developers building decentralized apps (dApps)<\/strong>. This is where NFT domains come to action.<\/span><\/p>\n ENS and Unstoppable Domains are the most popular options for developers looking for a decentralized alternative<\/strong>. They use blockchains and NFTs for domain management.<\/span><\/p>\n NFT-based domains have a lot of benefits. Rather than renting domain names, they let you buy them and not just rent them. You can manage them via smart contracts. Domain names can be sold or transferred without a central authority.<\/span><\/p>\n The NFT domain<\/strong> is a decentralized domain that runs on a public Blockchain and is a smart contract<\/strong>. Besides having new extensions, like .nft and .crypto, they’re also listed on blockchains like Polygon and Ethereum<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n Basically, these domains are hosted in a crypto wallet by their owners<\/strong>, and once they’re registered, that wallet owner is the only one that can use the domain. Most NFT domains don’t come with monthly or annual fees, so you just register one, and you own it forever. You can really own a domain if you’re an NFT Domain owner since it’s decentralized. Also, if you have your own domain extension, you’re the complete owner of it.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Content creators can take back control of their digital identities with an NFT domain<\/strong>. You can put your digital content on a decentralized web instead of relying on social media platforms.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n For content creators, that means they’re the only ones who can change or take down their content, and centralized platforms like Facebook<\/strong>, Instagram<\/strong>, or Twitter<\/strong> aren’t able to do it either.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Additionally, creators can own their data and analytics when they host their content on NFT<\/strong>. Tech companies could charge them for access to that data instead of seeing it as a product.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n You might see companies switch from traditional domains to NFT ones too<\/strong>. Many business problems can be mitigated with NFT domains, such as the domain company reclaiming it, being bound to the terms and conditions of a platform, or paying recurring hosting fees.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n In digital communities and forums<\/strong>, NFT domains can reinvent how people interact with each other. Community forums could benefit from having free and inclusive conversations without having to rely on a centralized service or worry about censorship.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n By digitizing their art<\/strong>, artists can gain more exposure and set themselves apart from other artists. Artists can sell, auction, and display their stuff on an NFT domain<\/strong>. Furthermore, artists can get paid through their NFT domain, making the process seamless for both the seller and buyer.<\/span><\/p>\n The process of creating an NFT domain isn’t that hard<\/strong>, and there are lots of services that provide these domains. People are buying more and more NFT domains, so finding a good one is getting harder. Here’s how to get an NFT domain on the most popular platforms.<\/span><\/p>\n Several services offer NFT domains, as mentioned above. You can pay with cryptocurrencies, of course. The two most famous NFT domain providers are ENS Domains<\/strong> and Unstoppable Domains<\/strong>. Different domain names are available like .eth, .crypto, .dao, .nft, and so on.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n With good reason, Ethereum Name Service is one of the hottest projects on Ethereum right now. ENS uses simple, human-readable names to address resources on and off the blockchain in a secure, decentralized way.<\/span><\/p>\n MetaMask is one of the many wallets you can use. <\/span>To register a domain, you’ll need at least $50 in Ethereum.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Names with five characters and longer cost $5 per year. Names with four characters cost $160\/year, and names with three characters cost $640\/year. You pay in ETH.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n UD, or Unstoppable Domains, is a blockchain-based domain solution for multiple purposes. As a Web3 user, you can use your domain name as your username, a decentralized website URL, and send crypto over various blockchains like Ethereum<\/a>, EOS<\/a>, and Polygon<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n Unstoppable Domains gives you total control over your domains, unlike traditional web hosts. Unstoppable Domains lets you buy crypto domains, so you own them forever, not just rent them. Using Unstoppable Domains does not require you to transfer, update, or link your domain to other services. Over 50 wallets, exchanges, and dApps support Unstoppable Domains, like Coinbase, MyEtherWallet<\/a>, <\/strong>and OpenSea<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\nWhat is an NFT domain name?<\/span><\/h2>\n
