Let’s say you’re an up-and-coming artist who just dropped this groovy hit.

Step 1: Register a custom .ROCKS or .BAND domain
Head over to Name.com to check your domain name’s availability.

Step 2: Forward your domain
Now that you’ve got your domain, how can you make it redirect to your SoundCloud or Bandcamp profile?
Head over to the Forwarding Tools page, and select the domain you want to set up the forward for.
Then, enter the URL of your SoundCloud or Bandcamp profile. Make sure you copy the web address of the exact page you want all your visitors to be directed to.
Press Add URL Forwarding Record to complete the process. If you’re successful, you’ll see the record appear under the Manage Your Forwards bar.
And now…test it out! Type the custom .ROCKS or .BAND domain name into your web browser and watch it redirect to your SoundCloud or Bandcamp page!
