> google.com is equal to streetname.number

Small correction: the left side of a domain name is the most specific. For example, `translate.google.com` is like `number.street.city`, not the other way around.

It may seem like the end of a domain name is like the street number, since it's often a country-code, but it's more like having company that's so big that they have the same street address in every city.
