Google will not allow domains without dots

Google

The Internet Domain Name Regulator, ICANN, opposes domain names without dots. These are the names that the search giant Google would like to use: http: // search, http: // app; http: // blog and http: // cloud. Google offered ICANN to allow the use of domain names without dots as a new technical standard, the development of which Google has spent more than one month.


According to The Verge, Android developers are proposing to make such domain names customizable by the user. For example, the domain http: // search could lead the user to a search engine site of his choice. At this stage, the rationalization of the creators of the operating system, which analysts foretold eternal domination, was rejected.

In the same way, http: // blog would redirect the user to their blogging system; http: // cloud is for a specific cloud service, and http: // app is for an electronic application store that a person needs. But last week, ICANN rejected this initiative. The reasons for this are the increased threat to stability and security that domains without dots carry. Google did not give an official response to this prohibiting resolution of the domain name regulator.

ICANN does not want to violate the status quo and recently rarely goes to the creation of new domains. The biggest changes were allowed by the regulator in July 2013. Four first-level domains were opened. We are talking about Cyrillic .online and .site, Chinese. 游戏 (which means “game”) and Arabic .شبش (meaning “web”).

Google has applied for the .search, .app, .blog, .cloud, and .map domains. The book giant is trying to keep up with its search engine and would like to have at its disposal the .book and .amazon domains. But ICANN has not given either a positive or negative response to these requests.

Currently, Google is so powerful that Samsung even thinks about switching to Tizen OS and not sharing the fame of its devices popular in China and around the world with the search giant.
