Why
Why choose a .dev domain
.dev is run by Google Registry and comes with a built-in security guarantee: the whole TLD is on the HSTS preload list, so browsers refuse to load any .dev site over plain HTTP. Every .dev address is HTTPS by construction — with our free SSL, that's zero extra work.
It has become the convention for developer portfolios, open-source project sites, API docs and dev-tool products: short, literal, and instantly understood by the audience that matters.

FAQ
.dev domain questions
How much does a .dev domain cost?
Registering a .dev domain costs $15.99 for the first year and renews at $17.99/yr — both figures are shown side by side before you pay, so there are no year-two surprises.
Do I need to do anything special for HTTPS on .dev?
No — point it at our hosting and the free SSL certificate is issued automatically. The HSTS rule simply means an SSL-less setup would not load, and ours is never SSL-less.
Is .dev only for individual developers?
No — dev tools, agencies, docs sites and engineering blogs all use it. Anything aimed at a technical audience fits.
Who runs the .dev registry?
Google Registry operates .dev (alongside .app). It's a stable, well-run namespace with the unusual bonus of enforced transport security.
