The .app field guide

The operating rule .app brings

A focused extension for a web application, with an important operational constraint: browsers require HTTPS for .app websites.

01Start here

Give the application its own front door

The .app registry positions the ending for applications and product experiences. Use it for the place people actually use: a customer workspace, booking tool, account area, mobile-app landing page, or SaaS sign-in where the link should feel like a route into a working product.

02

Launch with the secure setup already in place

Because .app websites require HTTPS in browsers, make the address part of a real launch plan. Connect DNS, issue a certificate, and decide who maintains it before you share a sign-in link, onboarding email, or download page with customers.

03

The practical meaning of .app

.app makes the address read as a product surface. It works naturally for a web application, mobile application landing page, customer portal, or a focused software experience where the product itself is the primary thing a visitor is about to use.

Its important distinction is operational rather than decorative: browsers require HTTPS for .app websites. That is a useful fit when secure delivery is already part of the launch plan, but it should be understood before the name is placed on a landing page, login flow, or customer-facing link.

04

When .app is the clearer choice

Use .app when the extension tells the truth about the destination. A product interface, download page, account area, or web application can benefit when the address signals that someone is opening a working product rather than a general company site.

For a wider company presence, .com may be clearer. For a developer-facing tool or engineering project, compare .dev. The distinction is editorial as much as technical: choose the address whose ending helps a visitor understand the page before they click.

05

Launch checklist

Plan HTTPS before publishing the address anywhere. The official registration policy says .app websites need HTTPS configuration to load in browsers, so certificate and hosting setup belong in the launch checklist alongside DNS and redirect decisions.

Then check the desired name, review current renewal and multi-year ownership cost, and register through the workflow that fits the team. An agent can check availability first and complete registration through MCP or REST API once the registration details are ready.

Built for

What you can build with .app
