How many google domains are there that lead to a google search engine?
I don’t count google.org cause it doesn’t lead to a google search engine
There’s also nothing special about the fact that Google and Yahoo use www, www1 and www2. They could use bigserver1.google.com and shitserver1.google.com if they wanted, and those subdomains would serve the same purpose.
That is a terribly written (and extremely wrong) explanation and should not be relied upon by anyone.
Subdomains are completely arbitrary and have no intrinsic mappings to individual machines, load balancers, or data centers, except those provided by whomever manages the DNS. There is no requirement that a subdomain like www1 or www2 be a mirror; it could point to an entirely different thing altogether. Further, the use of the term ‘mirror’ to describe Google’s and Yahoo’s multi-level load balancing across dozens of datacenters with hundreds of thousands of nodes is nonsensical.
I won’t even go into the author’s odd use of the word ‘mainframe.’
.dk, .no, .se, .fi, just checking the Scandinavian countries. If there’s somebody here who’s really into fighting ignorance, perhaps he or she can test all top level domains and come back to us.
They also have various misspellings of the above which redirect, like gogle and such, listing all of those and the fact that typing in goooooooooogle up to a significant amount of O’s will also redirect you would expand the list considerably. (Actually, I think a few up there even go to the same place)
This isn’t even scratching the surface of ALL of google’s domains though, simply the search ones like you asked.

I think a better question is why Google apparently owns things like essentialmommy.com, mariolovespasta.com and thesecretofburritos.com. According to TechCrunch, Google owns literally thousands of domains under the .com tld alone. Who knows about the other tlds…
