Best TLDs for Technology & Software
TLD recommendations for tech companies, SaaS startups, developer tools, and IT services. The technology sector has the widest range of viable TLD options, from legacy .com to developer-focused extensions like .dev and .io.
Recommended TLDs
Key Considerations
- .io is technically a ccTLD (British Indian Ocean Territory) but is widely adopted in tech culture
- .dev and .app require HTTPS — they are HSTS preloaded by Google
- .ai is popular for AI companies but is Anguilla's ccTLD with higher renewal costs ($80+/year)
- Many investors and VCs still prefer .com for credibility and perceived seriousness
