Frequently asked questions about the .SOFTWARE domain
Is .software only for companies that sell software or also for those that use it?
Primarily for companies whose product or service is software — developers, SaaS, tech agencies. For companies that use software as an internal tool (any modern company), .software may create confusion about whether they are software vendors.
Does .software rank well in Google for software searches?
Google treats .software like any gTLD. For searches like 'X software' or 'software development company', the semantic coherence between the extension and the content may improve CTR.
Does .software have fixed registration and renewal pricing?
.software has slightly different prices: $32.99/year registration and $33.99/year renewal — just $1 difference.
Is .software or .dev better for a development company?
.dev ($15.99/year) is cheaper and has a more technical signal — it is the developer individual or code project extension. .software ($32.99/year) has a more corporate and product connotation — it is the company or SaaS tool extension. For a company, .software may be more appropriate; for a developer or open source project, .dev.
Does open.software have open source connotations?
Yes. open.software or free.software have direct connotations of open source and free software — domains especially coherent for open source software projects or free software communities.
Can I transfer my .software domain to miHosting?
Yes. The transfer has no additional cost. You need the authorisation code (Auth Code) from your current registrar. The process takes 5 to 7 business days.
