.dev domain name checker
.dev is a generic TLD run by Google Registry for developers and the things they build: tools, docs, portfolios and side projects. It's open to anyone.
Type the full domain, like yourname.dev. You’ll also see the same name across 100+ other TLDs.
.dev at a glance
- Type
- Generic TLD (gTLD)
- Best for
- Developers, docs, side projects
- How we check
- Registry RDAP. ICANN requires generic TLD registries to publish registration data, so answers come from the source.
Worth knowing
- The whole TLD is on the HSTS preload list, so browsers only connect over HTTPS. Most hosts issue certificates automatically, but plain-HTTP setups won't load.
- As a generic TLD, it publishes registration data over RDAP, so AvailableWhois checks the registry directly.
- Good for product docs and APIs (docs.yourname.dev) even if your main site lives elsewhere.
