Google’s Domains
I recently came across a neat tool called YouGetSignal. It does a reverse-DNS lookup, which basically tells you what websites are hosted from the same IP as another. Not particularly useful in my case, but fun nonetheless.
I decided to do a reverse lookup for Google, because I recently read an article about some obsure domains that Google owns. Indeed, the list came up with lots of obscurities, such as
http://abnamrobankgroup.net/
http://chessforcar.com/
http://fergusonclinic.com/
Amongst others. It was suggested that these might be useful for people behind a proxy that blocks google.com. This sounds feasible, but I’d think that any proxy that blocks google.com would block domains from the same IP as well. Of well. The most important part of this information is that I found my own personal Google domain:
http://scott.wegner.svc-1.google.com/
