What is a Domain Registry

A domain registry is basically the wholesaler of a TLD. Dot Hip Hop, LLC is the Registry Operator for .hiphop. We maintain the database of all .hiphop domain names. Those domain names are then offered to the public for registration by domain registrars

The registrant pays an annual registration fee to the registrar to have the right to use the domain name during the registration period. Domain name annual registrations can be purchased for up to 10 years at a time. Registrants must pay the annual subscription fees to their registrar to maintain ownership of their domains. Failure to renew the registration can result in a loss of ownership of the domain name.

A registrar is an authorized retailer of domain names. In order to be able to offer domain names for registrations, Registrars must be certified by ICANN. Registrars charge customers retail prices for domains and then pay the domain registry the difference. In addition to domain names, most registrars offer additional services like website hosting, website building, eCommerce stores, email, Internet marketing, and other value-added services.

A TLD is a top-level-domain. The most common TLD is .com. It’s the end of a domain name. Other TLDs include .org .net .edu and .hiphop.

Why Are Domain Names Important

Domain names are in the simplest terms, a form of digital real estate. Therefore, it can be a valuable asset to be developed or resold. Instead of a physical building, a domain name represents a digital identity that can serve many purposes including building a website, having a custom email address, or even a cryptocurrency wallet address. Additionally, unlike social media, when you register a domain name, you own it. Social media accounts can be suspended or revoked if the company that owns it, doesn’t like your message.

What is a Domain Name

Every website has a unique IP (Internet Protocol) that consists of a string of numbers and periods. (example 255.255.255.255) Domain names are easy-to-remember names that associate the name for an IP address.

Who Can Purchase a .HipHop Domain

There are no restrictions when it comes to registering a .HipHop domain. This is not true of all TLDs.

I Have Social Media, Why do I Need a Domain

Social media is good to have but it is not a replacement for a domain name. Social media accounts are owned by their respective companies, not by you. A change of ownership or a message that offends the social media company can result in a suspension or cancelation of your social media account. Without your own domain, this could effectively shut down an online business that doesn’t own its own domain.

How Does the Hip Hop Community Benefit from .HipHop

Hip Hop now has its own identifiable and brandable domain extension. No one predicted 50 years ago what Hip Hop would become. It’s now the most downloaded music genre and is influencing culture all over the world. These .hiphop domains represent an opportunity to own and directly influence the future of Hip Hop.

How Can I Use a .HipHop Domain

With a domain name, you can build a website, create custom email addresses, and set up a custom cryptocurrency wallet address.

What Are the Benefits of Registering a .HipHop Domain

Just like the general benefits that come with owning any domain name, with a .HipHop domain you are obtaining a digital identity that aligns with Hip Hop, thereby strengthening your brand. For example, if you registered the domain heavyhitters.com, the name itself doesn’t tell you much about the brand. However, if you registered heavyhitters.hiphop, you automatically associate the name with Hip Hop. This also makes the name more memorable. Additionally, there are many more .HipHop domains available now than the more common domain endings like .com.

We’re excited to announce an upcoming brunch we’re hosting for Dot Hip Hop Partners (“DHHP”)! This event is a major milestone for the Hip Hop community, as it marks the first minority owned investment group that has come together to participate in the ownership of the domain registry, Dot Hip Hop, LLC.

Dot Hip Hop, LLC is the licensed holder and operator of the Top-Level Domain (gTLD), .HipHop (https://get.hiphop/). This newly relaunched domain extension is a game changer for the Hip Hop community, as it allows individuals, businesses, and organizations to have a unique and memorable online presence that identifies with the culture of Hip Hop. It’s an opportunity to stand out and showcase your brand in the digital world. It will also be a unique opportunity to learn all about digital real estate and how to build a lucrative domain name portfolio leveraging gTLDs like .HipHop.

DHHP is comprised of mostly Black and Brown non-accredited investors who have come together to participate in a cultural campaign to reclaim the ownership of Hip Hop. Ownership of the .HipHop domain registry (Dot Hip Hop, LLC) is an important step forward in making sure that the Hip Hop community has a greater say in the direction and future of the genre, particularly in the Web2 and Web3 space.

The Dot Hip Hop Partners’ brunch is intended to celebrate the members of DHHP and thank them for leading the charge in galvanizing and motivating the community of Hip Hop to participate in the development of .HipHop in a meaningful way—through real ownership, and by establishing a brain trust to guide its development. This event is expected to bring together cultural/business leaders, Hip Hop artists, and community activists to discuss the importance of ownership and true representation of the community in its own culture.

Attendees will also have the opportunity to learn more about DHHP and its members, the .HipHop domain extension, how .HipHop can be used to support the Hip Hop community, and how others can participate in the actual ownership of the .HipHop domain registry (Dot Hip Hop, LLC (https://get.hiphop/)). The event will take place on January 22nd, 2023, at The Bronx Public, a Hip Hop Themed restaurant-bar located at 170 W 231st St, in the birthplace of Hip Hop… The Bronx.

This DHHP Brunch is a private event, but we encourage everyone in the Hip Hop community to be part of this historic moment by following and participating in the event via social media. This is an opportunity to learn how to invest in the future of Hip Hop, and to make sure that this global genre continues to thrive for the next 50 Years to come!
