In fact, .io officially represents The British Indian Ocean Territory which is a set of islands between Africa and Indonesia. What&#8217;s interesting though, is how the .io domain name has started to gain wild popularity among the startup community, especially in Silicon Valley. There are tons of great websites and businesses that use the .io domain name. And a lot of these websites are creating a social component to them, where website visitors can interact and contribute their own content. Read on to see a few examples of how the .io domain name is powering the next generation of social websites.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h3>Codepen.io<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/betamax.porkbun.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/codepen_dot_io_v1-2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1027 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/betamax.porkbun.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/codepen_dot_io_v1-2.png?w=1024&#038;h=604\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"383\" srcset=\"https:\/\/porkbun.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/codepen_dot_io_v1-2.png 2300w, https:\/\/porkbun.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/codepen_dot_io_v1-2-300x177.png 300w, https:\/\/porkbun.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/codepen_dot_io_v1-2-1024x604.png 1024w, https:\/\/porkbun.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/codepen_dot_io_v1-2-768x453.png 768w, https:\/\/porkbun.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/codepen_dot_io_v1-2-1536x906.png 1536w, https:\/\/porkbun.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/codepen_dot_io_v1-2-2048x1207.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Codepen is a great example to showcase .io because I\/O in development terminology means &#8220;input&#8221; \/ &#8220;output&#8221;. Codepen.io is a website designed to be a place for coders and developers to come and practice their skills. The creators of the site created an interactive social network where developers can share what they&#8217;re working on, comment, and get feedback from the community. Plus, the website and business is all about coding which ties into the domain name extension, .io. If you&#8217;re at all interested in developing websites or designing websites, checkout both codepen.io, as well as the .io domain name for your personal brand.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>sidebar.io<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/betamax.porkbun.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/sidebar_dot_io_v1-2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1028 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/betamax.porkbun.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/sidebar_dot_io_v1-2.png?w=1024&#038;h=608\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"386\" srcset=\"https:\/\/porkbun.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/sidebar_dot_io_v1-2.png 2294w, https:\/\/porkbun.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/sidebar_dot_io_v1-2-300x178.png 300w, https:\/\/porkbun.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/sidebar_dot_io_v1-2-1024x608.png 1024w, https:\/\/porkbun.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/sidebar_dot_io_v1-2-768x456.png 768w, https:\/\/porkbun.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/sidebar_dot_io_v1-2-1536x912.png 1536w, https:\/\/porkbun.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/sidebar_dot_io_v1-2-2048x1216.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We love sidebar.io because of the feedback we&#8217;ve received from some of our customers who have used sidebar.io. Like codepen.io, sidebar.io is a place where designers can go to get design resources, interesting news, and share their own design work. It is geared towards a slightly more technical audience which is another reason why .io was a great choice for their domain name extension to match what they do as a business.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>customer.io<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/betamax.porkbun.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/customer_dot_io_v1-1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1029 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/betamax.porkbun.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/customer_dot_io_v1-1.png?w=1024&#038;h=595\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"378\" srcset=\"https:\/\/porkbun.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/customer_dot_io_v1-1.png 2298w, https:\/\/porkbun.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/customer_dot_io_v1-1-300x174.png 300w, https:\/\/porkbun.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/customer_dot_io_v1-1-1024x595.png 1024w, https:\/\/porkbun.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/customer_dot_io_v1-1-768x446.png 768w, https:\/\/porkbun.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/customer_dot_io_v1-1-1536x893.png 1536w, https:\/\/porkbun.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/customer_dot_io_v1-1-2048x1191.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Ever tried to send automated emails to your customers? There are many email and marketing automation tools out there, but customer.io is becoming one of the most popular email platforms that you can use. And they&#8217;re approaching the whole email automation challenge differently. Customer.io goes beyond email by helping you design your ideal customer experience both on your site and in social media platforms when someone engages with your brand and you need to connect with them promptly.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to the types of brands that registering .io domain names, the trend we&#8217;re seeing is that .io is associated with innovation and valuable startup technology. The other noticeable pattern is that a lot of .io sites offer some sort of social component to them whereby website visitors can interact with the site and contribute their own content. This surprising yet beneficial development further increases the popularity of those sites. When people come to gather on a social .io website, they tell their friends, they comment, they share and it grows organically.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/betamax.porkbun.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Nicio-1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1031\" src=\"https:\/\/betamax.porkbun.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Nicio-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"244\" height=\"196\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a style=\"background-color:#ef7676;color:#fff;text-decoration:none;padding:18px 9px;font-weight:600;border-radius:5px;\" href=\"https:\/\/porkbun.com\/tld\/io\/?utm_source=PB_Blog&amp;utm_medium=Social&amp;utm_campaign=Dot_IO_Blog_Post\">Register Your Own .io Domain Name<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The .io domain name might seem like an odd choice as a domain extension for your website name.
