    If you look up Google through reverse IP, you can see that they have a few other hosted websites ON THEIR SERVERS.

    These are them???

    # http://466453.com <-- doesn't work
    # http://Abarcelo.com <-- timeout
    # http://Absolutepolarity.org <-- works fine

    What are they?? Why the weird names and why are THEY hosting them??

    I can't find any info on any search engine :confused:

    absolutepolarity.org Appears to be "Google English"

    Lots of companies do this... First that comes in mind is Disney. Why Google does it? Who knows.

    Or could be search or other technology they purchased, and aquired the domains as well.
