Run by Google Registry since 2019 for developers and their projects. Like .app, every .dev site must use HTTPS.

Tips for buying an expired .dev domain
Like .app, every .dev site needs HTTPS. Short project names drop regularly as side projects are abandoned.
Whatever the extension, check every name before you buy it: its history, backlinks and spam signals. Our domain history checklist covers each step.

We do not list expiring .dev names yet, because its registry does not publish a drop list we can use. You can still check any .dev name's status, registrar and history with the domain checker.
