May I ask why Google isn't using it's own TLD yet? I just tried combinations such as mail.google, maps.google or news.google and would've expect that they at least redirect to the equivalent.

- CydeWeys 9y agoThere's very little value in adding new domain names solely to serve as redirects, because the best practice is to only have a single canonical domain name anyway. We are starting to launch new sites on our TLDs, e.g. https://registry.google https://registry.google https://domains.google https://domains.google https://ai.google https://ai.google https://blog.google https://blog.google https://pride.google https://pride.google Don't forget, .google is far from the only closed TLD we have, too.
