dev-domain

There are a number of domain extensions that are accessible to the general public without any problems, i.e. they are not dependent on whether you belong to a certain professional group or whether you live in a certain country or city. One of these domain extensions that are accessible to the general public without any restrictions is the .dev domain extension. It is a top-level domain that was launched on March 1, 2019. As early as February 19, 2019, it was possible to secure a domain of choice under this domain extension.

Awarding and security

The allocation of the domain extension .dev is done by Google. This company was also the driving force behind the launch of this domain extension. The security of the domain registered under .dev is guaranteed by the inclusion of the domain extension in the HSTS preload list. This means that the use of HTTPS is required to connect to any of the registered .dev websites. If the .dev domain extension looks familiar, you are not mistaken, as web developers have been using this domain extension for internal networks for quite some time.

Use

This domain extension is very suitable for the developers of tools, of platforms and programming languages and blogs that more or less revolve around this topic. The domain extension can also be used by private individuals who build interesting things and want to share this with the rest of the world. Because in a way, these people are also developers or inventors. Those who have registered a domain under .dev can avail of the SSL enabled web space from Google and also the SSL enabled website builder. In addition, Google's email products can also be used. Internationally, the importance of this domain extension is very high. There are very many people today who are also privately involved in the development of web products. And then there are all the companies that are in competition with each other. Especially in the last few years, the competition for products around the WWW has become very tough, so that a meaningful domain extension like .dev is needed to attract attention.
