新华网8与19日电 据科技博客网站Gizmodo报道，谷歌一直梦寐以求的不加点的通用顶级域名https://search申请日前被互联网名称与数字地址分配机构拒绝，这导致短期内不会出现无点的域名。
互联网名称与数字地址分配机构（ICANN）目前放松管制，准备下放一大批新的通用顶级域名。谷歌想要的不止是简单域名而已，它希望能争取到一些不带点的像https://search这样的域名。不过，这样的梦想幻灭了。
本周五，新通用顶级域名项目委员会确认将全面禁止无点域名，所以像“https://不管什么”这样的域名目前不会作为功能地址进行全面推广。理想情况下， https://search这一域名不仅仅能指向谷歌，用户可以在这一域名下自行选择需要的搜索引擎（比如谷歌），不过处于技术以及安全方面的因素，ICANN对这种理念不是很看好。
在不久的未来，如.search,.amazon， ., and .游戏这样的域名将会如雨后春笋般涌现，到时候用户们肯定都会见怪不怪了。在域名中间不加点就好像句子里不再需要动词一样。
ICANN可能会重新考虑不加点域名，或许还会改变心意，但是现在它给出的答复是否定的。这样转变需要时间，一点一点慢慢变，.cashbackbonus这样的域名要适应起来还是挺奇怪的。

ICANN"s loosening up and getting ready to roll out a whole new batch of .whatever generic top-level domains, but Google wanted more. Google was pushing for crazy, dotless domains like https://search. But the dream is over. ICANN just smacked it down.
On Friday, ICANN New gTLD Program Committee decided to confirm and all-out ban on domains without dots in them, so https://whatever is off the table as a functional address option, for now. Ideally, https://search wouldn"t have just been a shortcut to Google, but to a space where users could pick their own search engines (i.e. Google) but ICANN wasn"t jazzed on the concept, citing technical and security concerns.
And with tons of new TLDs—like .search, .amazon, ., and .游戏—flooding the Internet in the near future, users are probably going to be weirded out enough. Dropping the dot would be like deciding that sentences don"t need verbs anymore.
There"s still a chance that ICANN could revisit the idea down the line and change its mind, but for now the decision is a solid "No." One paradigm shift at a time; it"s going to be weird enough getting used to .cashbackbonus or whatever. [Domain Name Wire] (来源：新华国际)
