Requirements
Who can register a .app?
- With .app, websites only work over a secure HTTPS connection. This means you need an SSL certificate to make your website reachable in browsers.
- The HTTPS requirement is enforced by the browser, because .app is on the HSTS preload list. That list only enforces encryption for websites.
- Without an SSL certificate, you can still use a .app domain for email, for other applications outside the browser or to protect your name.
Good to know when registering
- You can register a .app domain straight away. You don't need to have an SSL certificate first, as the order doesn't matter.
- When you register, you agree that .app has an HTTPS requirement for websites.
- Want to put a website on it? Then set up HTTPS with an SSL certificate, otherwise browsers won't load your site.
Transfer
Transferring a .app
- You start the transfer with the new registrar using the transfer code. The registry then automatically notifies your current registrar of the transfer.
- Your current registrar sends an email to the owner and sometimes also to the administrative contact. In it, you may be able to approve or reject the transfer.
- If you neither approve nor reject the transfer, it will be completed automatically after 5 days.
- Check the WHOIS beforehand to make sure there is no transfer lock on the domain. A transfer only succeeds if the domain isn't locked.
- Has your current registrar set a transfer lock? Then, as the owner, you can ask for the lock to be removed.
The transfer code
- To transfer a .app domain, you need a transfer code.
- You request the transfer code from your current registrar. You do this as the owner or as the administrative contact of the domain.
