Cali too



What's the URL for California?


https://ftb.ca.gov

Easily searched, but I wanted to make an observation, why is it only the government who actually makes use of the hierarchical nature of DNS


And it's not even all of the government, plenty of counties and even their departments have random domains leaving you wondering if it's just an elaborate phishing attempt


I could do without it. At this point, the domains are for authenticity. I don't need hierarchies of Wikipedia domains for language and mobile view, for instance.
