Update: .page is now open for general registration! Find participating registrar
partners at get.page.
Today we're announcing .page, the newest top-level
domain (TLD) from Google Registry.
A TLD is the last part of a domain name, like .com in "google.com" or .google in "blog.google". The .page TLD is a new opportunity for
anyone to build an online presence. Whether you're writing a blog, getting your business
online, or promoting your latest project, .page makes it simple and more secure to get the
word out about the unique things you do.
Check out 10 interesting things some people and businesses are already doing on .page:
- Ellen.Page is the website of Academy
Award®-nominated actress and producer Ellen Page that will spotlight LGBTQ culture and social
causes.
- Home.Page is a project by the digital
media artist Aaron Koblin, who is creating a living collection of hand-drawn houses from
people across the world. Enjoy free art daily and help bring real people home by supporting
revolving bail.
- ChristophNiemann.Page is the
virtual exhibition space of illustrator, graphic designer, and author Christoph Niemann.

group of designers and developers who will offer a monthly online magazine with design

- Navlekha.Page was created by Navlekhā, a Google initiative that helps
Indian publishers get their content online with free authoring tools, guidance, and a .page
domain for the first 3 years. Since the initiative debuted at Google
for India, publishers are creating articles within minutes. And Navlekhā plans to
bring 135,000 publishers online over the next 5 years.
Security is a top priority for Google Registry's domains. To help keep your information safe,
all .page websites require an SSL certificate, which helps keep connections to your domain
secure and helps protect against things like ad malware and tracking injections. Both .page
and .app,
which we launched in May, will help move the web to an HTTPS-everywhere
future.
.page domains are available now through the Early Access Program. For an extra fee, you'll
have the chance to get the perfect .page domain name from participating registrar partners
before standard registrations become available on October 9th. For more details about
registering your domain, check out get.page. We're
looking forward to seeing what you'll build on .page!
