Register your .app domain

Absolutely! .app is an incredibly safe domain name, especially for those who are developing applications for mobile devices. In fact, security is one of the main plus points of the .app domain name. This TLD comes with a built-in security feature called the HTTPS Strict Transport Security (HSTS) preload list. All .app domains also require SSL certificates, which keeps communication between websites and visitors encrypted and secure.

The .app domain name is highly suited to those who are developing or launching a mobile application, but with the right optimisation any website can rank well.

There are no specific requirements, and .app domain names are available to anyone on a first-come, first-served basis. So if you have a website idea in mind, it's best to register before it's snapped up by someone else!

A domain name is how people find you online. Websites are hosted on a web server, and domain names tell search engines and browsers where your site is hosted. Every domain has to be unique so that the web server knows where to point a user to.

A domain extension, or top-level domain (TLD), is the last part of a domain name. It usually specifies a location or category such as .uk, .app, .shop or .blog. For example, when you buy a .app domain, you're buying a domain name with a .app extension.

If you want, you can add a blog to your website, for example, you can create a subdomain (e.g. blog.example.app). Did you know that with us you can have unlimited subdomains? So, make as many as your heart desires.

It's super easy to register new domain names. All you have to do to find your perfect domain is use our availability checker. Simply search for an available domain name, enter some details, and you're good to go.

Not to worry. Moving your domain name over to Fasthosts is easy, quick, and completely free. Head on over to our domain transfers page to find out more.

When you're choosing a domain name for your business, keep in mind the following:

1. Protect your brand and register similar extensions (e.g. get a .app alongside .co.uk or .com).
2. With the onset of social media apps like Twitter and Facebook, it's a good idea to match domain names with your social media handles.
3. Keep it simple. Names that are long or hard-to-spell could lead potential visitors to the wrong website or a 404 page. Shorter names are much easier to remember, and will make it easier for customers to find you.

When you use Fasthosts, we give you full access to your DNS records (domain name system), which makes it as easy as possible to transfer your domain name, including to other people. So, if you want to sell your .app domain name, you can!

Your domain name is a key part of your website. A .app domain name that is uniquely your own is an identity on the internet, so search engines know where to send people who may be looking for you.

If you're developing a phone application, then .app is for you. When customers get to your website, a .app domain name instantly tells them that they could also be exploring you in the palm of their hand. And that convenience factor is very appealing to your potential customers.
