.dev Domains
Register your .dev domain
Security isn't optional on this developer extension, it's in the specification. Browsers force every .dev site onto HTTPS, and we hand over the free SSL certificate to match. Register from $15.99/yr, renewal costs displayed before any commitment.

The Extension
Why .dev?
Google Registry operates .dev, and the audience is right there in the name: developers, plus the tools, docs, portfolios and APIs they ship. What sets it apart lives inside the browser. Every .dev name sits on the HSTS preload list, so requests go out over HTTPS and nothing else. Skip the certificate and your domain will not load at all, which leaves the entire namespace encrypted whether anyone thinks about it or not.
So every .dev we sell arrives with our free SSL, which issues itself and renews on its own. The requirement baked into the extension gets satisfied the minute your site goes live. WHOIS privacy costs nothing either, and you see next year's price before you commit.
Good Fit
.dev works best for
- Developer portfolios and personal sites
- Documentation, SDKs and API references
- Open-source projects and dev tools
- Staging and product sites for engineering brands
What You Get
Included with every domain
HTTPS enforced by design
Browsers carry the whole .dev zone on their HSTS preload list. Every request to any .dev address travels encrypted, no exceptions.
Free SSL included here
No certificate, no .dev site. Ours arrives with free SSL that issues itself and keeps renewing without you asking.
Audience-native branding
Other developers read a .dev address as native. It sends the correct signal for tools, docs and portfolios.
Common Questions
Questions about .dev
What does HTTPS-only mean in practice for my site?
Plain HTTP gets refused. Because the extension sits on the HSTS preload list, the rule is enforced inside the browser itself, not by us or by the registry. In day-to-day terms you need a valid SSL certificate from day one, and our hosting handles that for you, renewals included, free.
Is .dev only for professional developers?
Anyone can register one, with no eligibility checks. Readers do associate the extension with code, so projects near that world get the most out of it, though a learning journal or a student portfolio belongs on .dev as much as a funded devtools startup does.
Will a .dev domain rank normally in search?
It does. .dev is generic, pinned to no country, and judged on what you publish just as a .com would be. Forced HTTPS pushes you where search engines want sites to go: secure by default.
