How can I meet people with similar music interests? Artist Connect is our free directory service with a listing of artist looking to hook up, and another listing for bands looking for a new member. We also have an active community in our forums and sometime in our chat room. Our mail system allows you to send private messages to other BandCage users.
How can I host my music related files on BandCage? After registering your artist page, you can upload an unlimited amount of images, audio, video, and flash (swf) files for use on your BandCage profile.
How much does it cost to rent a subdomain like myband.bandcage.com or myband.band-website.com? When you register your band or artist page, you get a free subdomain for your profile page. You can choose any valid domain name that you want, as long as it is not already taken by another band. Choose a domain name that you want to stick with because your site will lose popularity and it's search engine ranking if you change your subdomain name! Currently we give you YOURBAND.bandcage.com and YOURBAND.band-website.com and maybe more aliases in the future. At any time you can add a Fully Qualified Domain Name (ex. yourband.com) and we can display your BandCage profile on your domain name! (see artist profile settings)
I heard that there are bands that are completely funded by BandCage, how is that possible? Our merchandise service for bands is still a work in progress. Artists upload artwork and fans can then order official merchandise featuring the artwork. Our top quality manufacturers create the products and ship them directly to the customer. Items include T-shirts, hoodies, CDs, vinyl records, pins, and cloth patches. The artist receives most of the profits, a portion going back into BandCage to fund things like server upgrades. Please send me a message if you want to sell some merchandise in this trial period.
Ask a question on the contact page, if the same question gets asked enough, we'll add it to this list!
