Google has made a new way for companies to create websites using just one word.
They call it “.ing”. Until now, you needed a long and special name for the website, and then you had to add .com or .co. But now you can make your website address with only one word.
Currently, the company is letting some people use the “.ing” program early, but you might need to pay some fees, which will go down as more people use it.
You can apply through partner companies
Google mentioned that people can sign up for their special website address through partners like GoDaddy and 101Domain.
The special time to join early lasts until December 5, and the cost goes down every day.
After December 5, this program will be available for everyone, and anyone can sign up for it for free.
For popular names, you will need to pay a lot
Certain words with .ing domains are currently quite costly. For instance, getting a website address like “think.ing” and “buy.ing” can cost a lot, specifically Rs 32,49,999 and Rs 1,08,33,332.50 per year, respectively.
Other words like “Kin.ing” are available for a more affordable price, around Rs 16,249.17 per year. Similarly, “Dyeing” can be obtained for Rs 3,24,999 each year.
How to get your own .ing domain
To get your own .ing domain, go to a domain registrar like GoDaddy, Namecheap, or Google Domains.
Look for the .ing domain you want, and if it’s available, you can register it for a fee. Once you’ve registered the domain, you can start using it.
The .ing domain is currently available for pre-registration, but it will be widely available from December 5th and should be a bit cheaper.
In addition to .ing, Google has also introduced the .meme domain, specifically for funny and meme websites.
