- urbandw311er 8mo agoAny idea why Google and Microsoft and Apple don’t yet have TLDs then?
- mohaba 8mo agoGoogle does. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.google https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.google
- slater 8mo agoApple does. https://apple.nic https://apple.nic
- tim-- 8mo agoI think you meant https://nic.apple https://nic.apple :) Worth pointing out that the ICANN agreement for all these new TLDs require a website live on whois.nic.<tld> under Specification 4. eg, Google's TLD delegation agreement (https://itp.cdn.icann.org/en/files/registry-agreements/google/google-agmt-html-24jul14-en.htm https://itp.cdn.icann.org/en/files/registry-agreements/googl...). Most TLDs will also put live nic.<tld>, but it's not required. edit: huh, seems like a lot of TLDs are not following their ICANN agreements.
- urbandw311er 8mo agoWeirdly if you browse to nic.apple there is a link on that page to “Whois for .apple” which points to http://whois.nic.apple/ http://whois.nic.apple/ which seems to be dead.
- ssl-3 8mo agoAlso Microsoft: https://nic.microsoft https://nic.microsoft
- NordSteve 8mo agoAnd https://word.cloud.microsoft/ https://word.cloud.microsoft/
- urbandw311er 8mo agoEDIT: I couldn’t have been more wrong — all three have TLDs. Not really sure if they are being used for much though! Most of the action still seems to be on their .com domains
