Soon as Google launches .Page domain names — Larry.Page coming

Larry.Page and other domains ending in .page are coming soon.

Google released the .Page top level domain name today in Sunrise, meaning trademark owners who have registered their marks with the Trademark Clearinghouse can register domains ending in .page.

And no, Google didn’t select .page since it’s the surname of its co-founder Larry Page. On its website, Google states “.page is for anyone who wants to create a fresh website online, counting entrepreneurs, publishers, developers, businesses, and students.”

The Sunrise period will end on October 2, at which point an Early Access Dutch auction runs for seven days. This is similar to the model used to launch the .App domain earlier this year.

Following Early Access, the domain will be open to everyone at regular prices on October 9.

The domain name will be affordably priced. The registrars I checked are offering the domain for $13 once general availability begins.
