Premium .dev domain — $1,200,000
One word. Zero ambiguity. A category-defining name. The exact name for whatever you're building at engineering speed. Buy outright at $1,200,000, lease-to-own over 12, 24 or 36 months, or lease monthly from $10,000.
Name rarity — illustrative
Full ownership, transferred through neutral escrow.
Why this name
"Engineering velocity" is the term teams already use for delivery-speed metrics — the category LinearB, Jellyfish, Faros AI, and Swarmia compete in. "Sprint velocity" is Agile's own word for the same idea. This domain is the literal name of that conversation.
Run by Google's registry and built for software teams. Every .dev site is HTTPS-only, enforced at the browser level — no config, no warning page, secure the moment it's live.
One dictionary word. Eight letters. No hyphens, no numbers, nothing to misspell on a business card, in a pitch deck, or read aloud on a sales call.
The market
Category-defining single words now close at $1M and beyond on the extensions developers actually use — Neural.ai at $1.75M, Bot.ai at $1.2M, Crypto.io reported at $18M. velocity.dev is that word on .dev: the rare dictionary name no competitor can register, priced where the category trades today. Much of the real action never hits the public record — chat.ai, voice.ai, metahub.ai and metahub.dev all changed hands privately at undisclosed prices.

Three ways in
Full, permanent ownership. Funds and the domain move at the same time through a neutral third-party escrow — you never send payment directly to a seller, and the transfer isn't released until escrow confirms funds.
Start using the domain immediately. Choose a fixed term — 12, 24 or 36 months (36 months is $33,333/mo). Every payment reduces what you'd owe to own it outright — buy out early anytime for the remaining balance, with no penalty and no interest.
Payment terms: every payment includes a 15-day grace period. Cure within 15 days and the schedule continues unchanged; if a payment goes uncured past the grace period the agreement terminates — payments made act as rent for the period of use and no ownership interest vests. See the FAQ.
No purchase commitment. Use the domain for a launch, a campaign, or to test a new product name at a fixed $10,000/mo, month-to-month. Cancel any time with 30 days' notice — or stay as long as you like.
Buyout option: buy the domain outright anytime at the full $1,200,000 asking price — the same price as an outright purchase, with no discount and no penalty for having leased.
Payment terms: the lease is month-to-month — either side can end it with 30 days' notice, including us, so the domain can be sold if a buyer comes along. Every payment includes a 15-day grace period. Cure within 15 days and the lease continues; if a payment goes uncured past the grace period the lease is terminated and the domain returns to the seller's control. See the FAQ.
Model your deal
Lease-to-own builds 100% equity toward the $1,200,000 price over a fixed 12, 24 or 36-month term. A lease-monthly plan keeps your options open at a fixed $10,000/mo.
How it works
Tell us which path fits — buy, lease-to-own, or month-to-month — and your timeline. Expect a reply within 24 hours.
A neutral third party holds funds and confirms transfer conditions, so neither side is exposed. For lease-to-own, ownership transfers automatically at final payoff.
DNS moves, the domain is yours to use, and you're pointing traffic at it the same day — or on the day of payoff if you're building equity.
