Where can I purchase .app TLD?

Where can I purchase a .app Top Level Domain (TLD)?

I've gone to Network Solutions, GoDaddy, etc and can't find someone who is selling .app domains (e.g. http://example.app).

Solution

  • Nowhere. The timeline given out by ICANN projects the new gTLDs won't be available until the beginning of 2013:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generic_top-level_domain#New_top-level_domains

    You will know when they are operational because they will appear on IANA's website:

    http://www.iana.org/domains/root/db/

    More info on gTLDs as well:

    Update: The .app top level domain is available and you can purchase your domain by visiting https://get.app/. All domains require HTTPS as the .app top level domain is HSTS preloaded.
