Google Introduces New .ing Domains
In the vast world of top-level domains, Google has recently unveiled a new option for users to register domains ending in .ing. These domains have been made available to the public in advance, starting at a reduced daily rate and leading up to their official release on December 5th.
On that day, at 16:00 hrs UTC, .ing domains will be accessible to the public, allowing interested parties to register their desired domain through their preferred domain registrar at an annual base price.
But before this official launch, an early registration period has begun. Interested individuals can visit the get.ing website to learn how to secure their desired .ing domain before others beat them to it. The website offers a tool to check the availability of desired .ing domains and ensure they can be registered.
The .ing top-level domain is inspired by the “-ing” endings commonly found in English verbs, creating a gerund form. Google states that the .ing domain is versatile and suitable for any topic of interest.
Several websites have already embraced the use of .ing domains for different actions. Canva, the popular online design platform, utilizes the design.ing domain for design-related tasks, while draw.ing is used for drawing activities. Other websites include edit.ing and firm.ing by Adobe Acrobat, go.ing for cheap flight alerts by Going, and giv.ing by Giving Tuesday for ideas on making everyday acts meaningful.
The possibilities with .ing top-level domains are virtually endless, as they can be applied to any action-oriented topic. We can expect to see a growing number of .ing domains integrated into our daily lives. Even our favorite tools that have yet to make the switch may decide to adopt .ing domains in the future.
