Is the cheapest transfer also the cheapest place to keep it?
The lowest transfer fee is Dynadot's ($13.99), but at $14.50 a year it totals $42.99 over 3 years. To keep it for 3 years, NicNames is cheapest at $42.00.
Bottom line
Sav is the one to beat for .app: $34.51 over 3 years.
.app is a generic domain for apps and the businesses behind them. Google runs it, and it has one feature most domains don't: every .app website must use HTTPS. Browsers won't load a .app site over an insecure connection.
Google Registry runs .app through its company Charleston Road Registry Inc. Google won the right to run .app at an ICANN auction in 2015 for just over US$25 million, one of the highest prices paid in the new domain programme.
.app was added to the root zone in June 2015 and opened to the public on 8 May 2018.
Anyone can register a .app name. You don't need to be a software company or have an app in a store. People and organisations can register any available name through a registrar, subject to the usual trademark and abuse rules.
The HTTPS rule is built into major browsers like Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge. That means every .app website needs an SSL certificate before it will work, including any subdomains or redirects.
HTTPS keeps the connection secure, but it doesn't prove an app is safe or that the developer is who they say they are.
.app is primarily used for app landing pages, web apps, and software products, often named after the product. Developers and start-ups use .app for download pages, help guides, and support sites. It is less suitable for websites unrelated to apps, as the name creates an expectation of app-related content.
