Why choose a .dev domain?
A .dev domain tells visitors your site is built by and for developers. Like .app, every .dev domain requires HTTPS—enforced at the browser level via HSTS preloading. Google operates the registry, and major companies like Google (web.dev) and GitHub (github.dev) use it for developer-facing properties. If you're shipping documentation, developer tools, or open-source projects, .dev is purpose-built.
Best for:
- Developer signal - Instantly communicates a technical, developer-focused audience
- HTTPS required - Every .dev domain must use HTTPS, enforced via HSTS preloading
- Google-backed - Operated by Google Registry with enterprise-grade infrastructure
- Clean namespace - Newer TLD means short, brandable names are still available
