When should you choose .dev?
.dev suits developer-focused projects and technical portfolios. A simple structure helps people find examples, documentation and contact information independently of social networks.
A practical example
A professional can use their name or brand with .dev and organise projects on descriptive pages. Publish only work you have permission to share.
Before you register
.dev uses HSTS preloading and needs HTTPS to work correctly in supported browsers. Configure a certificate with your hosting provider and avoid internal HTTP links.
Before confirming registration
A search does not reserve a name. Check spelling, registrant details and the registration period. Registration is confirmed when the provider completes the operation. Read the terms of service y el privacy notice.
If you already own the domain, review how to prepare a transfer. For help choosing a name, read our practical guide.
