About .dev

A secure domain for developers and projects

.dev is made for developers, dev tools, open-source projects and technical blogs. Like .app, it's secure by default: every .dev site must use HTTPS, which browsers enforce, so your projects and portfolio are always served over an encrypted connection.

Who it's for

  • Developers

    Personal sites and portfolios.

  • Dev tools

    Libraries, APIs and developer products.

  • Secure by default

    HTTPS is required on every .dev site.

What comes with your .dev domain

Everything you need to point your domain at a website and start using email on it.

  • Free DNS with email

    Add our Free DNS plan at checkout for DNS management, email forwarding and two mailboxes, free while your domain is registered with us.

  • Domain lock

    Lock your domain against unauthorised transfers and unlock it only when you want to move it.

  • Privacy protection

    Free on every .in domain. For most other extensions it's a low yearly add-on you can tick at checkout.

  • Full control

    Change nameservers and DNS, get transfer codes and renew early from your client area or the Motherhost app.

  • Renewal reminders

    We email you before your domain expires, so it doesn't lapse by accident.

  • Clear prices

    First-year, renewal and transfer prices are shown upfront, with a GST invoice for Indian customers.

FAQs

.dev domain questions

Straight answers on prices, registration, transfers and renewals.

Yes. .dev is on browsers' HSTS preload list, so every .dev site must be served over HTTPS. Our free SSL covers this.

Developers, dev-tool companies, open-source projects, technical blogs and engineering teams.

.dev domains are registered through PDR Ltd. (PublicDomainRegistry.com), an accredited registrar, and managed by Motherhost. Motherhost is our brand.

It's an optional yearly add-on you can choose at checkout, where the .dev registry allows it. It keeps your personal contact details out of public WHOIS lookups.

Yes. Add our Free DNS plan at checkout for DNS management, email forwarding and two mailboxes, free while the domain is registered with us. If you need more mailboxes, add business email hosting, or point the domain at any email provider you already use.

From 1 year, and up to 10 years for most extensions. You can renew early from your client area. The renewal price is shown on this page before you buy.

Yes. Unlock the domain at your current registrar, get its authorisation (EPP) code, then start a transfer on our domain transfer page. The transfer price includes a one-year renewal, so one year is added to your current expiry date.

Your website and email stop working on the expiry date. For a grace period after that, whose length depends on the extension, you can still renew at the normal price. After that a restore fee applies, and if the domain isn't restored it is deleted and anyone can register it. We email you reminders before your domain expires.
