Google has purchased the website domain .app in an auction held by the organisation which oversees the running of the net.
The firm's winning bid for $25,001,000 (£16,234,000) is believed to be the highest so far.
The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (Icann) is rolling out new customised web names and auctioning them off.
Other web address endings sold so far include .baby, .tech, .salon and .VIP.
The suffixes are known as generic Top Level Domains (gTLD).
