Google Registry’s application extension
A Clear Signal for Apps, Products and Developer Projects.
.app is a generic top-level domain operated by Google Registry and purpose-built for applications, SaaS products, mobile apps and developer tools. A name such as yourproduct.app immediately communicates that the site is product-focused. The zone is on the HSTS preload list, so HTTPS with a valid certificate is required for the site to load in modern browsers.
- Product-first address. The .app ending tells visitors this is an application or digital product.
- Built-in security expectation. HTTPS is mandatory — browsers will not load a .app site over plain HTTP.
- Open to everyone. No local presence or special credentials are required to register.

Check matching endings
Search the same string in .app, .dev and .com if brand protection is important to you.

After the registration period
What Happens When a .app Domain Expires?
Always renew before the expiry date if you want to keep the name. Under standard gTLD policy a grace period follows expiry; after that window the domain may enter redemption and eventually be released.
Active
The domain and all connected services operate normally. Keep contact and billing details up to date.
Renewal Due
Renew at TSh 55,406 before the expiry date to avoid any interruption.
Expired
A grace period typically allows standard renewal under current registry policy.
Redemption
Services stop resolving. Recovery options and fees depend on the domain’s exact registry status.
Released
If the name is not recovered it may become available again and can be registered by someone else.

Common questions
.app Domain FAQs
Practical answers on application domain registration, pricing, HTTPS requirements, DNS, transfers and expiry.
What exactly is a .app domain?
It is a generic top-level domain operated by Google Registry. .app is designed for applications, SaaS products, mobile apps and developer projects and is open to anyone worldwide.
How much does a .app domain cost at Truehost?
The live prices displayed on this page are TSh 28,574 for a new registration, TSh 55,406 for renewal and TSh 47,294 for a transfer. The final amount is confirmed at checkout.
Is .app better than .dev or .com for my project?
Choose .app when you want a clear product or application identity and are ready to run the site over HTTPS. Choose .dev for a more developer-focused signal (also HTTPS-required). Choose .com when a widely recognised commercial address is the priority. Each ending is registered independently.
Who should register a .app domain?
Anyone building an application, SaaS product, mobile app, developer tool or digital product who wants a clear product-oriented address. No special eligibility is required.
Why do .app sites require HTTPS?
The .app zone is on the HSTS preload list. Modern browsers will only load a .app website over a secure HTTPS connection with a valid SSL certificate. Without SSL the site will not display.
Can I create email addresses on my .app domain?
Yes. Point the domain to a compatible email provider and create addresses such as [email protected] or [email protected].
Can I host the website with a different provider?
Yes. Update the nameservers or individual DNS records to the values supplied by your chosen hosting platform. Ensure SSL is configured so the site loads.
How many years can I register a .app domain for?
Available terms are shown during checkout. One-year and multi-year options are commonly offered, subject to registry and registrar rules.
Which characters are allowed in a .app name?
Use unaccented letters, numbers and hyphens placed inside the name. Spaces, underscores, other punctuation and a hyphen at either end are not accepted.
Does buying .app also give me the matching .dev?
No. Each extension is a separate registration. Search both versions if you want to control the matching brand names.
Who operates the .app registry?
Google Registry (Charleston Road Registry) operates the .app namespace. Truehost handles search, registration, billing, account tools and customer support for the domains sold on this page.
What happens after a .app domain expires?
Under standard gTLD policy there is a grace period after expiry during which standard renewal may still be possible, followed by a redemption window that can involve extra cost. Renew early to avoid any service interruption.
