The Secure Domain for Apps

.app was introduced by Google in 2018 and is the first domain extension that enforces HTTPS. Every .app website must be encrypted – unencrypted connections are blocked by browsers.

The extension is aimed at app developers, software companies, and anyone offering digital products. .app signals: there's an application here – modern, secure, and user-friendly.

Since SSL certificates are included with LAY7 Cloud, you automatically meet the HTTPS requirement at no additional cost.
