Discussion on: So, is it DEV, dev.to or The Practical Dev?

In all seriousness, I generally think of it as “dev dot tee oh” for folks who don’t know, and then “dev too” or “dev” for folks who know what it is.

Practical Dev is just the Twitter account, though I’d like to do something new to maybe differentiate it. ThePracticalDev will always be the origin story. ❤️

Here’s a little aside for anyone reading this right now: Can anyone get to the bottom of who owns dev.com? As much as we all love dev.to, if we migrated to dev.com it would kind of cement the whole journey. But no idea who owns it.

I honestly think that dev.to rocks more than dev.com

I found an other website that is also hosted on the same IP has dev.com, however the WHOIS information is also hidden.
That website also seems dead, you can view file directory and found some files that I hope contain fake data... I can send you the link if you are interested.
If the last modified dates are correct then last activity was around August 2018.

name.com/contact-domain-whois/dev.com Assuming you already tried this, but maybe if enough people ask they will eventually give a response.
