About the .PROD domain
What is the .PROD domain?
Unlike extensions such as .app, .dev, .page, .how, .soy, .new, or .day, which Google Registry actively offers to the public through accredited registrars, .prod does not appear among the extensions available for general registration. The term "prod" is commonly used in the tech industry as shorthand for "production" (as opposed to development or testing environments), suggesting a possible internal Google use tied to its own production environments.
.prod is a closed extension for Google's exclusive use. It does not appear among the extensions Google Registry currently offers to the public through accredited registrars (such as .app, .dev, .page, or .day). It is not available for public registration under any circumstances. Contact our team if you need guidance on alternatives for your project.
