8:21 PM Crazy News Domain Name Internet Tips.
Don't think that its impossible, a former Google employee Sanmay Ved, was fortunate enough to purchase the Google.com domain for just $12!!
And he got full control of it about 60secs. Sanmay was on Google Domains Interface and searched for Google.com, Just like that surprisingly, Google.com was available for buying.
““I used to work at Google so I keep messing around with the product. I type in Google.com and to my surprise it showed it as available, The domain actually got added to my cart as seen by the green check-box, and the domain appeared in my cart,” Vad wrote of his experience in a LinkedIn post. “I was hoping I would get an error [message] at sometime, saying transaction did not go through, but I was able to complete [the] purchase, and my credit card was actually charged!”

As he completed his purchase he started receiving notifications from Google.com Domain and he also received some internal emails which he reported to the google security team.
However, after a minute, his Google.com order was cancelled.
The reason for the cancellation was simple – the company said someone had registered the site before he could.
“So for one minute I had access,” Ved said. “At least I can now say I’m the man who owned Google.com for a minute.”
Ved was immediately refunded his $12, but received no reparations for the shattered dream of owning the internet giant’s domain.
A Google spokesperson said they are looking into the matter, but they aren’t currently noticing anything unusual.
