Hi,
Our company is called XYZ Development. The company has nothing to do with software development.

Would it be ok to use xyz.DEV as our domain? Its a very short which is the attraction. But I dont know the consequences since we are not software company.

- would google algorithm penalise ranking for not being a software development company?
- is there anything technical that prevents it being use like this?
- is generally a bad idea?

Thanks
Dave.
