About the .NEXUS domain
What is the .NEXUS domain?
The original ICANN application for this extension described it as a brand domain intended for Google's exclusive use, with no plans to open it to the general public. However, the current registration policy allows registration by anyone on a first-come, first-served basis, through registrars such as GoDaddy or Namecheap, with no specific eligibility restrictions. As with other extensions in Google's catalog, all .nexus domains require mandatory HTTPS to function correctly in browsers, an enhanced security measure.
