.google is abrandtop-level domain (TLD) used in theDomain Name System (DNS) of theInternet. Created in 2014, it is one of the dozens of brand domains inGoogle Registry, operated byAlphabet Inc., Google'sparent company.[2]
It is notable as one of the firstgTLDs associated with a specific brand.[2] The company's first usage of the TLD was withcom.google, anApril Fools' Day joke website that hosted a horizontally mirrored version ofGoogle Search.[3]
The domain currently hosts multiple Alphabet Inc. products and services, and plans exist to move other Alphabet properties to .google as well.[4]
Google has integrated .google into theHTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) preload list. This means that all .google domains are hardcoded into major browsers to enforce HTTPS connections, ensuring that users can only access these sites securely. This initiative is part of Google's broader effort to enhance web security by eliminating unencrypted HTTP traffic.[5]
