- The entire TLD is on the browsers' HSTS preload list: websites under .dev are reachable only over HTTPS and need a valid TLS certificate.
- Open to everyone, with no requirements regarding residence or purpose.
- ICANN transfer rules apply to generic TLDs: after a new registration or a transfer, the domain is locked against further registrar changes for 60 days.
Register .dev domains via API
You check availability and price with a GET request; registration is a POST with the domain, term and owner contact handle. The cost is debited directly from your prepaid wallet, and the domain.registered webhook reports completion.
# Check availability and price
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $DRAPI_KEY" \
https://domain-reseller-api.de/api/v1/domains/check/example.dev
# Register
curl -X POST -H "Authorization: Bearer $DRAPI_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"domain": "example.dev",
"years": 1,
"contacts": {
"owner": "HANDLE-123"
}
}' \

Frequently asked questions about .dev
How much does a .dev domain cost for resellers?
Registration costs €16.64 net per year, renewal €16.64 per year and a transfer €16.64. There is no base fee and no minimum volume — the price applies from the very first domain.
For how many years can I register a .dev domain?
.dev domains can be registered for 1 year. You pass the desired term in the years field when registering.
How do I transfer a .dev domain to you?
You need the auth code from your current provider and send it together with the domain to POST /api/v1/domains/transfer. The webhook domain.transferred or domain.transfer_failed reports the result — no polling needed.
Why doesn't my .dev domain load over HTTP?
.dev is fully HSTS-preloaded. Browsers enforce HTTPS before a connection is even made — without a valid certificate the site cannot be reached.
