thedev.id is a free subdomain service that gives developers a personal identity like yourname.thedev.id for their static sites via CNAME DNS records. The registry is managed publicly through a GitHub repository where users claim subdomains by submitting pull requests.

Use cases

  • get a free subdomain for my personal website
  • claim a custom domain for my GitHub Pages site
  • point a thedev.id subdomain to my Netlify or Vercel static site
  • set up a CNAME record for my developer portfolio
  • find a free alternative to buying a domain for my project
  • register a developer identity on the web

When to choose

  • you want a free, memorable subdomain for a static personal site or project
  • you host on GitHub Pages, Netlify, Vercel, or any static host supporting custom domains
  • you prefer a transparent, community-run registry managed via pull requests

When to avoid

  • you need a top-level domain or email hosting, not just a subdomain
  • you need dynamic DNS or DNS records beyond CNAME
  • your site is not a static site or does not support custom domains
