Ask HN: What is Google.com/domains?
I just visited http://google.com/domains by mistake and was redirected to http://charlestonroadregistry.com/.
Did I miss something in the news about Google buying these TLDs under a different name? Thanks.

"How is Charleston Road Registry related to Google?
Charleston Road Registry (CRR) is a subsidiary of Google. Because ICANN requires that registrars and registries remain separate entities, and Google is already an ICANN-accredited registrar, CRR exists as a separate company from Google. We don't favor any registrar over any others in terms of pricing, awarding domains, or any other domain operations; we'll partner with any ICANN-accredited registrars that are interested in our domains"
