Back in the day, I remember when the main game in town was .com, and it was hard to find a short, memorable domain name that didn’t cost an arm and a leg. Fast forward to today, and we now have a wealth of descriptive top-level domains (TLDs) available to choose from. Not only do these TLDs offer better availability of high-quality names, they also do a great job of signaling purpose and content. So it’s no surprise the developer community has embraced them.
The
Web.dev
Google launched web.dev to share best practices, case studies and how-tos for modern web development with the broader developer community.
Clerk.dev
Clerk handles user accounts and logins for websites so developers don’t have to. Learn why they built their website on a .dev domain.
As a developer, security is top of mind every time I create a web app. Fortunately, every .app, .dev and .page domain is automatically HTTPS-only from the moment of creation, which means one less security best practice to worry about when spinning up a new website.
If you’re feeling inspired or working on a new project, you can register your own domain name at get.app, get.dev or get.page.
