Google should switch to https://google/ https://google/ They already own the .google tld and you don't even need a subdomain. See http://ai/ http://ai/

- koolba 5y agoThat’s the coolest URL I’ve ever seen.
- SevenSigs 5y agohttps should be the default so it could get better
- jazzyjackson 5y agoMeh, not worth the extra roundtrip
- encryptluks2 5y agoI can't get the http://ai/ http://ai/ domain to resolve.

- Wowfunhappy 5y agoSame here. > This site can’t be reachedCheck if there is a typo in ai. DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN
- re 5y agoWorks for me, but you might need to add a period, depending on the specifics of your DNS configuration: http://ai./ http://ai./
- nszceta 5y ago>>> What happened to Vince Cate? <<< If you can get ai to resolve, click on the URL at the bottom of the page which takes you to http://offshore.ai/vince/ http://offshore.ai/vince/
- judge2020 5y agoIIRC some gTLD rule prohibits non-NS records from being applied to root zones like this (ccTLDs not having this requirement obviously). I'll look for it.
- re 5y agoI found some references: * https://features.icann.org/dotless-domains https://features.icann.org/dotless-domains * https://www.icann.org/en/announcements/details/new-gtld-dotless-domain-names-prohibited-30-8-2013-en https://www.icann.org/en/announcements/details/new-gtld-dotl...
- msdrigg 5y agoThen whats happening with the domain http://ai/ http://ai/ mentioned in another comment?
- judge2020 5y agoai. is a ccTLD and there are far fewer regulations on them since they're 'owned' and operated by nation state governments. https://icannwiki.org/Country_code_top-level_domain https://icannwiki.org/Country_code_top-level_domain
- Symbiote 5y agoCountry governments. A nation state is not just a fancy way of saying country or state. It means a case where a nation (group of people with a common culture etc) form the vast majority of a country. Japan is a nation state. The USA is not.

- keeperofdakeys 5y agodig +noall +answer A ai ai. 86006 IN A 209.59.119.34 For better or worse the developers of browsers/libraires decided to allow it, it takes extra code to check for it and block it. Now that sites rely on it they can't exactly back track. Another strange one is domains with names that end in hypen - "example-.example.com". These are technically against standards, and don't work on linux/unix based OSs. However they happily work on windows. I've seen a github username that ended in -, which prevented me from viewing their github.io site. (Github seem to no longer allow this).
- paulgb 5y agoIt makes me irrationally happy to see that what must be one of the most sought-after domains resolves to a 90s web aesthetic site promoting beaches and fresh air.
- beaconstudios 5y ago... and the use of said country as a tax haven! Having said that, I do like the website though.
- nacs 5y agoNeither of those URLs work for me (DNS doesn't resolve).
- arthurcolle 5y agouse a better dns resolver
- mastazi 5y agoI don't think it's a dns resolver issue. I'm intentionally using 8.8.8.8 to prove the point (same results with other mainstream services like 1.1.1.1 by the way): ----- $ nslookup google 8.8.8.8 Server: dns.google Address: 8.8.8.8 Name: google. ------ $ nslookup google. 8.8.8.8 Server: dns.google Address: 8.8.8.8 Name: google ----- (Edit: formatting).
- BareNakedCoder 5y agoOr use a worse DNS resolver. Your ISP may be trying to cash in on DNS names that don't resolve / ain't found by instead sending you to another website that pays the ISP a small fee.
- zamadatix 5y agohttps://google https://google. isn't supposed to work, for ai try http://ai./ http://ai./ instead.
- spicybright 5y agoSo we're going back to AOL keywords? I'm actually ok with that.
- Operyl 5y agohttp://ai http://ai itself didn’t resolve in mobile safari here, though, so it seems like it’d be a bit broken in some environments.
- judge2020 5y agohttp://ai./ http://ai./
- Operyl 5y agoI tried both already. Neither resolves, thanks though.
- bostondavidvc 5y agoIf you have a few minutes, you could file a bug here: https://webkit.org/reporting-bugs/ https://webkit.org/reporting-bugs/ and potentially get it in front of Safari's networking team.
- justincormack 5y agoIt works in mobile safari for me, so it may be your dns/isp.
- fotta 5y agoresolves for me on iOS 14 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I’m using NextDNS, if it matters
- Operyl 5y agoI’m on iOS 14 using NextDNS as well. Are you using the iOS app or dependent on setting dns manually?

- 55555 5y agounfortunately Google doesn't seem to index http://ai/ http://ai/
- BossingAround 5y agoGiven how many people can't resolve http://ai http://ai or http://ai http://ai., there's your answer as to why they shouldn't switch to that.
- amelius 5y agoTyping "google.com" in my url bar is way easier than typing "https://google https://google". And typing just "google" results in a DDG search.
- jfrunyon 5y agoTry `google/` (well, it doesn't actually exist, but at least in Firefox/Chrome you can see that it will treat it as a URL instead of a search)
