.google is a brand top-level domain (TLD) used in the Domain Name System (DNS) of the Internet. Created in 2014, it is operated by Alphabet Inc., Google's parent company.[1] It is notable as one of the first gTLDs associated with a specific brand.[1] The company's first usage of the TLD was with com.google, an April Fools' Day joke website that hosted a horizontally mirrored version of Google Search.[2] The domain currently hosts multiple Alphabet Inc. products and services, and plans exist to move other Alphabet properties to .google as well.[3]
In addition, Google also owns the domain .goog[4] (for sites such as partneradvantage.goog and pki.goog), .gle[5] (for shortened URLs such as goo.gle and forms.gle) and .youtube[6] (for sites such as about.youtube and blog.youtube).
