The Dev-Domain is meant for developers. The ICANN process of introducing new Top Level Domains continues. The registry of the Dev-Domains has set the 16th of January 2019 as the start of the Sunrise Period. Interested parties for the Sunrise Period must register with the Trademark Clearinghouse . Developments have now their own more secure home on the web: the Dev-Domain, the most relevant TLD for website and software developers. The Dev-Domain is a secure namespace, meaning that HTTPS is required for all .Dev websites. You can buy your Dev-Domain now, but in order for it to work properly in browsers you must first configure HTTPS serving. You can acquire webspace with pre-configured encryption at Secura GmbH without any additional costs or SSL Certificates. The App-Domains and Software-Domains are alternative choices for websites concerning software.
