Question about Google ??

[Honeybadger]

How do Google have their own domain name ending --> blog.google?

I hit the like button because it's a good question, one I hadn't thought of. More accurately, I didn't know about it.

So, a theory.....some sort of high-tech redirect?

I'm not up on coding but maybe this explains something....

That's from their page source.

Edit: I didn't notice the word "tag" in that before. So, I give up.

It depends on what to work with and from this they will start

Are you using a word jumble generator to create your posts?

When the new gTLD applications were made --many large companies paid the application fee of $250K~ to ICCAN to have their company name allocated to them as a TLD. That is how .google came to be.

ICANN manage the domain name ending，

Do they pay for the domain? (ICANN)

 

[thedark]

It is called a TLD ( Top Level Domain ). For example, .com .net .org are TLDs. Few years ago ICANN made it possible to buy your own TLD. If it is available, and with a huge sum of money ( six figures ), you can get your own TLD if it is not already taken.

ICANN is the 'internet gods' the gTLS applications cost $245,000 plus the actual costs in assembling the application proposal.
With performance bonds the cost of the gTLDs cost $750,000+
No ICANN didn't pay for the name string --you applied to become a registry
ICANN-->Registry-->Registrar-->Domain buyers
