Disney own it. It's a hangover from the late 90s dot-com era, when portals were the hotness.

I'm guessing lots of people have it as their default homepage from the old days so they keep it running.

Yes, I know that much, but why would a major site not redirect to a regular .com domain?

Go.com was a portal by Infoseek--one of those search engines prior to Google's dominance.

ESPN was, for the longest time, espn.go.com.

It's Disney. Probably their own implementation of AMP.(Separate page that loads much faster for mobile sites.

Why they implemented it this way? Beats me.

go.com is over a decade older than AMP.

go.com may be a decade older than google!

No. Same age as Google.

I know that go.com is older than that. I'm talking about what Disney is currently using it for.
