Planned prices: The prices on this page are planned prices. The offer you receive in reply to your request is binding. Until the registrar is connected, domain prices come from sample data.
What is .app?
.app has been available since 2018 and was one of the first extensions with mandatory encryption for the entire namespace.
Registry: Google Registry.
Who can register?
Open to everyone. Like .dev, .app is HSTS-preloaded — the website must have a valid TLS certificate, otherwise it will not load.
Rules and technology
A .app name may be up to 63 characters long. Because of the HSTS preload, neither unencrypted redirects nor plain HTTP pages work; always plan redirects over HTTPS. Transfers use an auth code and are subject to the ICANN 60-day lock.
Who is .app for?
For web and mobile apps, landing pages of app store products and dashboards.
Pricing without renewal shock
A .app domain is planned at €20.28 per year at Sigma Hosting, including 20% VAT. The renewal price is identical: no teaser offer in the first year and no surprise on the second invoice. A transfer from another provider also costs €20.28 and extends the term by one year.
Domain registration is in preparation; until the registrar is connected, the prices are planned prices. You can take your domain to another provider at any time with the auth code.
Our tip
Use a subdomain such as app.yourname.at for the application and the .app domain as a short marketing address with a redirect.
