Nick.com is a website owned and developed by Nickelodeon. The website now serves as an online portal for Nickelodeon content, and offered online games, video streaming, radio streaming and individual websites for each show it broadcasts. It previously promoted the Nick mobile app which replaced it (websites for its sister networks aren't affected). Nick.com has received positive critical reaction and various awards, including a Webby in 2003. Positive praise has also been received because of the steps taken by the website to protect user privacy. Visits to the domain outside the United States are redirected to YTV in Canada, Nick.de (the website’s German version) in Germany or to nick.com/global due to programming licensing issues between territories.
