Google has become a domain registrar after completing a contract with ICANN. Google has paid a $2,500 initial application fee to become an ICANN-accredited registrar and $7,000 accreditation fee to access the database of .com, .net., .org, .pro, .info, .name and .biz extensions.
"Google has become a domain name registrar to learn more about the Internet’s domain name system," a company official stated. "While we have no plans to register domains at this time, we believe this information can help us increase the quality of our search results." But some authority websites and authors have shared different opinions about Google’s new plans. Some believe, Google is planning to control the domain name market and keep track of domain owners to prevent search engine spamming.
Google has yet to make any announcements about becoming domain registrar number 895, but it is being discussed on many webmaster community sites.
