.app Domains
.app domain registration, plainly priced and HTTPS-only
If people install it or sign into it, this is where it belongs. Encryption is not left to you here; the browsers enforce it. Register from $17.99/yr — with the renewal figure printed right there beside it.

The Extension
Why .app?
Say .app and people hear product. Mobile apps, web apps, SaaS landing pages, download sites: all of them wear it well, and name plus extension frequently gives the thing itself the tidiest address available. The zone carries the same HSTS preload as .dev. Browsers will fetch a .app address over HTTPS or not at all, which means encryption from the very first visit.
An SSL certificate is not a choice on .app, then. On our hosting it arrives free and without you asking. Before you pay, the tag shows what year one costs alongside what year two costs, and WHOIS privacy comes with it.
Good Fit
.app works best for
- Mobile and web applications
- SaaS products and their marketing sites
- Download and install landing pages
- Developers putting side projects behind a short, clean address
On the Shelf
Included with every domain
Encrypted by rule
Because the extension sits on the HSTS preload list, browsers fetch .app over HTTPS and nothing else.
The product's address
An application rarely gets a cleaner URL than its own name dot app.
Renewal on the tag
Year one and year two are on the label before checkout, as everywhere here.
Common Questions
Questions about .app
Does my .app site need an SSL certificate?
Yes. A .app site will not open over plain HTTP, since the extension lives on the HSTS preload list that browsers ship with. Our hosting issues the certificate for you at no charge, so the rule quietly sorts itself out.
Do I need a published app to register .app?
No. Register one for any lawful purpose you like. Products and projects suit it best, but nobody asks for app-store paperwork and there is no verification step to pass.
Is a .app worth holding alongside the main domain I already have?
Ship software and the pairing makes sense. Keep the company on your main domain, put the product or its download page on the .app. Holding both means the address people would guess first stays yours rather than someone else's.
