Google is finally launching its .app top-level domain (TLD), which it purchased for $25 million over three years ago. The .app TLDs are now available for pre-registrations on the get.app website via Google’s Early Access Program and are expected to go on sale for the public starting from May 8.
In order to make the .app domains more secure, Google has also announced that all .app websites will require HTTPS, making it the first TLD to enforce the security measure by default. Default implementation of HTTPS will ensure that all communication between the server and the browser is protected from snooping and man in the middle attacks, making .app websites the go-to choice for web apps.
