The .app domain is now availiable
- baalimago 8y agoWhy would I use this instead of just getting https to my website?
- giancarlostoro 8y agoIn some cases your app name might be available which might be a nice way of marketting mobile apps. I can totally see this taking off. I see a lot of xapp.com type domains that could simply be x.app instead.
- STRiDEX 8y agoeverything i tried is somehow already taken?
- godelmachine 8y agoAre they going to provide SEO as well?
- mechazawa 8y agoSEO is snakeoil
- oAlbe 8y agoReally? Has it always been the case or is it a recent development? I've seen whole businesses revolve around offering SEO services, and an uncountable amount of clients caring more about SEO (and willing to pay more for it) than actual web design/development. Would you have any resources to share where I could read more about this please?
- thomasfromcdnjs 8y agoHow long has it been open? They must of sold off so many short domains privately.
- proaralyst 8y agoInteresting, it's in the HSTS preload list, so you have to use https as a .app domain!
- Hoasi 8y ago> How exciting! youdontneedthat.app is available. There is still time!
- rorso 8y agoCr.app and ItsaTr.app both taken. Could've been fun.
- MasterScrat 8y agoI saw cr.app being available yesterday and almost considered it but: "cr.app Available for 1,199.00 USD / 1 Year" A bit too much for me.
- whym 8y agoHN thread on the announcement (May 1): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16967865 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16967865 Has preorder been open since May 1? At least I see domains created as early as May 2: $ whois mail.app Domain Name: mail.app Registry Domain ID: 2CA663491-APP Registrar WHOIS Server: whois.nic.google Registrar URL: https://www.godaddy.com/ Updated Date: 2018-05-02T16:15:05Z Creation Date: 2018-05-02T16:15:04Z Registry Expiry Date: 2019-05-02T16:15:04Z
- thisisit 8y agoYes. Mar 29 - May 1: Trademark holders can register .app domains (known as the "Sunrise" period). May 1 - May 8: Anyone can register available .app domains for an extra fee (known as the "Early Access" period). May 8 and onwards: Anyone can register available .app domains (known as “General Availability"). https://www.registry.google/ https://www.registry.google/ And they started auctioning domains starting May 1st.
- scottydelta 8y agoYes, I bought emails.app on 3rd may. They had different pricing based on how early you were registering as compared to public release date of 8th May.
- heyoni 8y agoDomains here require a trademark. Maybe you could contest it?
- sschueller 8y agoI hate this, every time there is another TLD and you are a brand holder you have to buy it and pay what ever it costs.
- milkers 8y agoI got a preorder on reactnative.app, damn it has been sold to someone else.
- jakobegger 8y agoDamn, someone already registered Postgres.app. We've been using this name since 2012 -- I hope whoever registered the domain doesn't plan on using it for something else. That would be really confusing for our users. I guess we'll have to stick with https://postgresapp.com https://postgresapp.com
- yread 8y agoHmm strange, there is ov.app but when I try my two letter combination, I first get "How exciting it's available", but trying to register it through Google Domains I get "Domains ending in .APP must be between 3 and 63 characters". What's going on?
- thisisit 8y agoTry namecheap or something because two letters works there but not on Google Domains. Btw, the domain name is already taken: https://ov.app/ https://ov.app/
- gadders 8y agoI am now the proud owner of fullofcr.app Now all I have to do is convert it into a blockchain machine learning big data startup and I'll become a billionaire.
- bonesss 8y agoI look forward to reading about your new monetary vision on `ico.its.fullofcr.app`. I also bet there's some ok ad money to be made with 'POLITICIAN.is.fullofcr.app'...
- gadders 8y agoI was thinking of setting up email address forwarding as well so you could email politician@fullofcr.app. I might try the politician domain idea. I should probably script it so it goes though the websites for the houses of parliament, US congress etc and automatically creates a page for them :-)
- qz3 8y agoI'm willing to invest if you also incorporate a neural network. HMU
- TheAceOfHearts 8y agoWell, I'm quite happy now: I just bought $FIRST_NAME.app. It was marked as a premium domain, so it was +$50... But the opportunity was too juicy to pass it up. In case anyone is wondering, it appears their premium domains only have a higher price for the initial registration. I just checked how much it would cost to add extra years to my registration, and it's only $14/year.

- CamelCaseName 8y agoCongrats! I bought my $firstname.$lastname 2 years ago but forgot to renew and let it lapse. Someone else picked it up and is neither using it not responding to my emails. I'm still devastasted.
- frou_dh 8y agoThis is equivalent to .exe being a TLD, to macOS people.
- parliament32 8y agoGood thing the DOS executable extension (.com) isn't a TLD. Oh wait.
- rob001 8y agoIs it worth moving my app from the subdomain app.mystartup.com to mystartup.app? Or would separating the app from the marketing website harm SEO? The app itself is completely inaccessible to bots.

- BinMen 8y agoIf a domain name holder abuses the .app domain name, it will cause great harm to the company.
