About .page domain
.page is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) operated by Google's Charleston Road Registry Inc. It was delegated to the root zone in March 2015. The registry applied for an exemption to operate this TLD under a single-registrant model, meaning Google is intended to be the sole registrar and registrant. Its purpose as a domain product is to serve as a dedicated namespace for Google's own content offerings.
