is-a.dev is a free community service that gives developers their own .is-a.dev subdomain for personal websites and projects. Registration happens by submitting a JSON DNS record file via a pull request to this repository, which is then published through Cloudflare DNS.
Use cases
- get a free subdomain for my personal website
- register a custom domain for my GitHub Pages site
- point a free .is-a.dev subdomain at my Vercel or Netlify deployment
- set up a free domain for my portfolio site
- create DNS records for a developer subdomain without paying
- get a free domain for my Discord or Bluesky profile
When to choose
- you want a free, memorable subdomain for a personal site or project
- you're comfortable with a GitHub pull request workflow for DNS changes
- you need a domain for static hosting like GitHub Pages, Cloudflare Pages, or Vercel
When to avoid
- you need a top-level domain you fully own and control
- you require guaranteed SLAs or commercial-grade DNS support
- you don't want your domain request publicly visible in a GitHub repository
