About .config

The .config domain extension suits anything to do with setting up software and devices. Config is short for "configure," a technical term most people who work with computers already know.

You can use this top-level domain for pages that store and explain how to set up software, computers, peripheral equipment and other devices. Technical professionals and anyone who maintains equipment can keep setup instructions in one place that is easy to identify.

Visitors know what to expect from a .config address: reliable information about getting a program or device working properly. As more people rely on configurable devices, clear setup guidance becomes easier to find under a name that says what it covers.
