Hi everyone, I want to buy a .dev domain for my site and i want to know if yay.com is good because its giving ssl with domain.

Ssl is free with let’s encrypt for everyone, so it’s not much of a selling point.

I would stick with a more popular and known registrar, such as google domains or namecheap

also, a .dev domain is cheaper with google ($12/year)

Let's encrypt is free but its secure?

Of course it is, it uses the same encryption mechanism as every other certificate (tls)

Having a certificate will only allow your website to communicate in an encrypted channel with the visitor, ensuring there is no spoofing or mitm attacks.
