.sh
Saint Helena ccTLD, naturally fitting shell-flavored projects.
.sh was issued for Saint Helena, a remote South Atlantic island. Its accidental match with the Unix shell extension pulled it into devops side-projects (curl-pipe-bash one-liners, install scripts) and eventually small CLI tooling brands.
The price is on par with .io's premium and the supply of short names is decent because mainstream consumers don't compete here. If your brand explicitly is shell-flavoured (a bash linter, an oh-my-zsh plugin manager, a deploy CLI), .sh still reads great. Otherwise .dev is more universal.
Best for
shell scripting tools, CLI projects, devops side-projects.
Renewal price across registrars $60–$90 per year. First-year promotional pricing may differ.
