Back in May, we wrote about Google providing encrypted search for all users. Until now, if you wanted to use the encrypted search, you just added an https:// to the Google.com domain and away you went.
According to an article on Read Write Web, Google has diversified things somewhat, in answer to some problems that happened due to the old domain. Now, when you’re wanting to use encrypted Google search, you’ll need to head to a new domain: https://encrypted.google.com















That’s not a “new domain”, it’s the same domain – google.com. It’s simply a new web host address in google.com.
@Jeff – it’s a new subdomain, obviously introduced to allow corporates to block access to the encrypted search without blocking the unencrypted version.
@andymurd – I am aware of that. I was just pointing out that it’s not a “new domain”.
