Frequently Asked Questions about .io
Why is .io so popular with tech startups?
.io became the go-to TLD for tech startups because "I/O" stands for Input/Output in computing. It's short, memorable, and has strong developer community recognition.
Is .io a country code or generic TLD?
.io is technically the ccTLD for the British Indian Ocean Territory, but it's marketed and used globally as a tech-oriented generic domain.
How much does a .io domain cost?
.io domains are more expensive than .com — typically $25–$50/year for registration. Renewal prices are similar. Compare current prices in the table above.
Are .io domains good for SEO?
Google treats .io as a generic TLD (not geo-targeted), so it works well for international SEO. There's no disadvantage compared to .com for search rankings.
The Real Cost of a .io Domain
Many registrars offer steep first-year discounts but charge full price at renewal. When choosing a .io domain, always compare the renewal price — not just registration.
