Why Developers and Engineers Choose .dev

A .dev domain gives software engineers and tech projects a secure, highly trusted web address. It immediately tells the tech community that your work is professional, modern, and built with security in mind.

Every .dev domain requires HTTPS, ensuring your site is fully encrypted and safe. This built-in security builds instant trust with your users and technical peers.

Clean & Professional

A .dev domain gives your coding portfolio or SaaS product a sharp, modern look. It removes any clutter and presents your technical work in a highly professional light.

Search Engine Friendly

Search engines treat .dev exactly like traditional extensions such as .com or .net. Your site will rank based on your actual content and code quality, not the extension itself.

The trust I had in founders. I know how to host dashboards and cPanels, but I am far from a system administrator. I need my place, space, and the ability to spin up whatever I can imagine to create memorable content for my agency clients. HostWP.io does this without costing me a fortune! Well done.

HostWP.io is noticeably fast. I migrated over because my website was sluggish in certain parts of the world, and I needed fast-loading pages from where scientists are, which is everywhere. The team have been great, migrating my website and answering all my questions promptly.

Moving to a new host is no small decision, but I’ve not regretted moving from SiteGround to HostWP.io. Their support is faster and better. From hosting multiple sites, migrating, setting up emails, to answering all my questions—they’ve gone above and beyond. Thanks HostWP for confirming my choice with your great service and support.

Ayra was a lifesaver! She patiently guided me through setting up my staging site and email, troubleshooting MX records, and fixing every issue. Quick, proactive, and supportive—thanks to her, everything ran smoothly and I met my clients’ needs. Truly golden support!
