About .dev

.dev is a generic top-level domain for developers and technology professionals. It is operated by Charleston Road Registry Inc., a subsidiary of Google. The domain is open to anyone, but registrants must agree to a strict security policy that requires HTTPS encryption for all websites. This rule was put in place to protect users and ensure a safe browsing experience. The .dev domain was delegated to Charleston Road Registry in December 2014 and became generally available in early 2019. Since then, it has become a popular choice for developer portfolios, documentation sites, and tech projects. The registry is based in Mountain View, California, and uses Google's infrastructure for name servers and registration services.

Eligibility & restrictions

Registrants must enable HTTPS encryption for all .dev websites. No other eligibility restrictions.
