You'd think Google, or any of the companies, would host such a thing themselves, rather than sub it out to Godaddy, using a PTR of the domain name relevant to the site -- and, especially in the spirit of things, a properly-configured SSL certificate that doesn't set off warnings, pointing where it ought to (like the IP's PTR), with HSTS and PFS in place and so forth. What indication is there that this is not a hoax?
