Register your .io domain at VPS.org and manage its DNS records in the same control panel.
What comes with every domain registered at VPS.org.
The .io extension reads as input/output to any developer and has become the unofficial TLD of dev tools, open-source projects, and indie SaaS. GitHub Pages lives on github.io. Fly.io, itch.io, and hundreds of developer platforms picked .io specifically because it communicates technical intent in two characters. If your audience is engineers, .io gets read before your headline.
CLIs, libraries, and platforms built for engineers, in an extension they recognize.
Project sites and documentation hubs for GitHub-native communities.
itch.io made .io familiar to indie game players, and many small studios use it too.
