Using domains.google domain name — Google begins

Using domains.google domain name — Google begins

Firm shifts registrar landing pages to .google domain name.

domains-googleGoogle has begun using a domain name under its .brand top level domain name, .google, for its domain name registrar.

The firm disclosed today that you can find its registrar at domains.google.

Its original domains for the service, domains.google.com and google.com/domains, now forward to domains.google. Still, once you log in, the domain name reverts to domains.google.com.

I spotted that Google registered domains.google back in October, and speculated it would shift its registrar page to the fresh domain.

Fresh top level domain name advocates hope that big firms start using their .brand domain names to give fresh domain endings more exposure. This is just one example.
