Compare .dev domain prices
Run by Google Registry for developers and technical projects. Every .dev site must be served over HTTPS.
Who .dev is for
- Developer tools, documentation, open-source projects, personal dev portfolios
- Anyone already planning to serve the site over HTTPS
Things to know
- HTTPS is mandatory: .dev is on the browser HSTS preload list, so a plain-HTTP .dev site will not load in any modern browser — a TLS certificate is not optional

How “Best overall” works: 50% 3-year cost and 25% free features (DNS, email forwarding, WHOIS privacy, mailbox), plus 25% reputation once we have enough data. The 3-year cost is the first year plus renewals, including fees charged on top; domains with a minimum term are priced in whole terms. Prices exclude taxes. Registrars we can't look up show “Couldn't check” instead of a guessed price. Links are not affiliate links and nobody pays for placement.
