.page

Overview

• .page is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) delegated as part of ICANN's New gTLD Program.
• The registry and manager is Google (Charleston Road Registry Inc.).
• The gTLD was proposed to provide a dedicated namespace associated with the term "page," intended for landing pages and themed content hubs that point to Google offerings and related content.

History

• .page was applied for in ICANN's New gTLD Program by Charleston Road Registry (Google).
• The string was delegated to the DNS Root Zone on 16 March 2015.
• The TLD is operated under Google / Charleston Road Registry Inc.

Usage and Audience

• The intended use is to provide landing pages and aggregated content hubs organized by theme.
• Target audiences include consumers looking for themed content and users of Google services.
• Examples of thematic approaches discussed in the application include domain names like front.page, sports.page, and business.page as hubs for timely news, sports information, and business/finance content.

Registration Rules

• In its application, Charleston Road Registry proposed limiting second-level domains so they point to Google offerings and related content.
• Google intended to manage second-level domain eligibility and allocation and sought an exemption to operate the gTLD with Google as the sole registrar and sole registrant.
• The applicant stated that if ICANN did not grant the exemption, registry services (including the shared registration system) would be made available to all ICANN-accredited registrars.
• The registry committed to implementing strong and integrated intellectual property rights protection mechanisms as part of its operation.

SEO and Brand Impact

• The .page gTLD is explicitly positioned to create a direct association with the term "page" and to serve as a content-categorization and discovery layer aligned with Google's mission to organize information.
• As an operated Google namespace, .page is intended to signal the kind of content available within the domain and to act as a hub for themed content, reinforcing brand association with Google offerings.

Notable Cases or Examples

• Application examples provided by the applicant include:
  • front.page — access to timely news content
  • sports.page — aggregated sports-related information
  • business.page — content related to business and finance
