.dev domains
A .dev domain for developers and their projects
What .dev is for
The idea behind .dev
.dev is a generic extension, open to the public since 2019, for people who build software. What makes it special: every .dev domain is on the HSTS preload list built into browsers, so it only opens over HTTPS. Every .dev site is secure from day one.

.dev domains: frequently asked questions
Because .dev is on the HSTS preload list built into browsers. A browser refuses to open a .dev site without HTTPS, so the site needs an SSL certificate. When you connect it to your Premium website here, we take care of SSL.
