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.
