Sorry if this question sounds weird but I would like to learn about this more and searching this on google gives me results about other keywords after coming to the word about. I think that's how Google is designed to work, so it gives me no information about https://about.
What is this domain about.*? Examples:
I understand that I can have about.mydomain.com but how come the above 2 domains do not have any extension at the end?
Is it possible for a normal user like us to have https://about.myname? i.e. https://about.kelsey?
TLDs are set up by ICANN, which, after approval, designates a registry that can assign domains under that TLD. So if you're influential enough to get ICANN to approve .kelsey, you're good to go; Google managed to do exactly that, hence the about.google URL. In many other cases, people use TLDs that have been assigned for a particular country as if they were generic (i.e., non-country-based) TLDs simply because they coincidentally look like one. .me, for instance, is the country TLD for the European country of Montenegro, it was originally not designed to have anything to do with the English pronoun "me". Similarly, TV stations like to use the TLD .tv, which was assigned to the Pacific island nation of Tuvalu. And that country specifically markets its domain names to TV stations.
