Google Announces .new Domain Availability

Re:Google Announces .new Domain Availability by AdrienLemaire on Tuesday October 29, 2019 @09:59PM (#21393970)

I'm a bit confused. Are these domains only usable as web redirects? Or is it just that the examples shown are used as such, but we can use the domain as any other one? I wonder how having multiple entries to the same page will affect page ranking.

Looking up gist.new, I wonder why there are 2 requests done:

307 Internal Redirect

301 Moved Permanently

Before getting the 200 request to https://gist.github.com/.

Due to HSTS (It maybe preloaded in your browser), the browser internally redirects http://gist.new to https://gist.new. And then receives a 301 from the web server (which is cacheable) to redirect you to your final destination.

Edit: It is (https://hstspreload.org/?domain=gist.new)

In fact, the entire .new TLD is preloaded: https://hstspreload.org/?domain=new

AFAIK google is doing this (HSTS preloading the entire gTLD) for many gTLDs they own, including .app
