.app Domain Names
.app is Google Registry's extension for applications on any platform: mobile, web, or desktop. It is HSTS-preloaded, so a site on a .app domain must be served over HTTPS with a valid certificate before browsers will open it. It works well as a product homepage, download page, or the address of the web app itself.
