Google Registry

Google Registry (Charleston Road Registry Inc.)

Google Registry operates some of the most developer-friendly new gTLDs including .dev, .app, .page, and .new. Notably, .dev and .app are HSTS-preloaded, requiring HTTPS for all websites — a security-first approach unique among TLD operators.
