What is a .app domain?

The .app domain is a generic extension opened to the public in 2018 by Google Registry, dedicated to applications: mobile, web, desktop or SaaS. A name like product.app says clearly what you offer and is easy to remember, which makes it a good fit for landing pages, download links and web apps.

Like .dev, the entire .app extension is on the browsers' HSTS preload list, so any .app site opens over HTTPS only. For visitors that means a guaranteed encrypted connection; for you it means a valid SSL certificate is required before launch. We host the DNS zone for free with a record editor, and renewals are taken automatically from your account credit.

Who a .app domain suits

  • Developers and companies launching mobile apps for Android and iOS
  • SaaS products and web apps that want a short, product-focused address
  • Startups whose name is already taken on .com
  • Companies that want a separate address for their customer app (company.app), distinct from the marketing site

Registration rules for .app

  • No residency requirement: anyone can register a .app
  • HSTS preloaded at the extension level: browsers block plain HTTP, so an HTTPS certificate is mandatory
  • Names use letters, digits and hyphens; the registry may reserve or price as premium certain short or generic names
  • The domain must be used in line with registry policies, which forbid abusive activity and malware distribution

Tips for choosing a .app name

  • Use the same name as your app in the app stores so users find it easily
  • Prepare the SSL certificate before launch: without it, links in ads and store listings lead to an error
  • Use subdomains for components (api, status, docs), managed from the included DNS editor
  • Host the backend on a cloud server with one-click Coolify or n8n and automatic HTTPS

Questions about .app domains

What does it mean that .app is HSTS preloaded?

Modern browsers ship with a list of domains for which they accept HTTPS connections only. The whole .app extension is on that list, so a .app site without a valid certificate will not open at all. The upside is that users always get an encrypted connection, regardless of your configuration.

Do I need an app in a store to register a .app?

No. The extension has no eligibility requirements and the registry does not check for an app. You can use .app for a web app, the landing page of a mobile app, or any project that fits the idea of an application.

Is .app a good choice for SEO?

Google treats .app like any other generic extension, with no ranking advantage or penalty. The real benefit is branding: a short name that describes the product is easier to remember and search for. Page content and links remain the deciding factors.

How do I put my .app site online with HTTPS?

Start a cloud server, add an A record pointing to its IP address in the DNS editor, and use a web server that issues Let's Encrypt certificates automatically, such as Caddy, or a platform like Coolify. The certificate is issued within seconds once the domain resolves.

How much does a .app domain cost?

Registering a .app domain costs €17.99 for the first year and €28.28 for each renewal, VAT excluded, paid from your account credit. There is no setup fee and DNS hosting is included.

For how long can I register a .app domain?

You can register a .app domain for 1 to 10 years at once. After that it renews automatically from your credit a month before expiry, and you get an email if your credit is short.

Can I transfer my .app domain to cloudlinux.ro?

Yes. Transferring a .app domain costs €28.28 and normally adds a year to its expiry. Unlock the domain at your current registrar, get the transfer code and start the transfer from the Domains section of your console.

Can I host a website on my .app domain with you?

Yes. Launch a cloud server billed by the hour, pick a one-click app such as WordPress, Ghost or Nextcloud, and point your .app domain to it from the DNS editor. The domain also works with any server you run elsewhere.
