What top-level domains do youtube have?

I am trying to identify a youtube link (usually) and I wonder what top level domains are using youtube?

So far I know about:

  • .com (youtube.com)
  • .be (youtu.be)

Are there any others?

PS: for those who are looking for youtube / vimeo video verification, I would recommend checking how to verify a valid Youtube URL using jquery ...

Currently, YouTube videos can be accessed through two types of links: either the regular URL created by the user interface itself, since you click one video on the following:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRgl-78sDX2

Or via the sharing URL created in the user interface by clicking the Share button:

 https://youtu.be/6DzSAaNQHR8

Regarding the second part of your question, which domains are required to access YouTube? Unfortunately, this is a moving target as YouTube changes. At the time of writing (March 2015), this list is as follows:

 *.youtube.com *.googlevideo.com *.ytimg.com

In addition to the primary domains above, some secondary domains are also required for ad serving, etc. on most YouTube pages:

 apis.google.com *.googleusercontent.com *.gstatic.com

Most of the traffic comes from * .googlevideo.com. Starting in late 2014, YouTube began to gradually enable SSL on the youtube.com and googlevideo.com domains. You should be aware of this if using this information on a filtering or caching device.

Also note that this has been tested through a browser; native clients (iOS, Android, etc.) can work in different ways.

I discovered these Youtube domains :

 youtube.com // https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dfGZ8NyGFS8 youtu.be // https://youtu.be/dfGZ8NyGFS8 youtube-nocookie.com // https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/dfGZ8NyGFS8

youtube.com also has a mobile version on a subdomain:

 m.youtube.com // https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dfGZ8NyGFS8

I use this list for the PHP parse_url function. You can find this helpful question too.

They also appear to be the sole owners of the new .youtube top-level domain name. I assume they will use it so that the YouTube channels have their own .youtube link.

If you are trying to catch links on YouTube, I use this part of the regular expression. I don’t know if they use national domains, for example, if you go to youtube.mx, they redirect you back to .com with Mexican localizations ... due to the fact that they cannot host content on some national domains, for example if you use the Saudi Arabia domain, you must accept all the local laws of Saudi Arabia, and if someone posts content that violates their laws, the site owner may face serious legal problems ... therefore they use .com for everything and keep jurisdictional content US and US law

  https?:\/\/ # Either http or https (?:[\w]+\.)* # Optional subdomains (?: # Group host alternatives. youtu\.be/ # Either youtu.be, | youtube\.com # or youtube.com | youtube-nocookie\.com # or youtube-nocookie.com ) # End Host Group

On this page http://data.iana.org/TLD/tlds-alpha-by-domain.txt .youtube domain also exists. Like in the https://rewind.youtube domain This gave me an idea. Why not use these domains as a redirect channel. eg. My channel (WMTV) will have a domain https://wmtv.youtube Of course, this will be limited to larger authors, but over time it can be a great feature from the point of view of marketing of individual YouTuber users.
