About the .AMAZON domain
What is the .AMAZON domain?
This extension's history is particularly significant within the new gTLD industry: Amazon's original application, filed in 2012, was blocked for several years due to opposition from the South American countries of the Amazon basin, grouped under the Amazon Cooperation Treaty Organization (Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Peru, Suriname, and Venezuela), who argued that the term "Amazon" had a geographic and cultural connotation that should not fall under the exclusive control of a private company. After years of negotiations and intervention by an ICANN panel, the extension was finally delegated to Amazon in 2020, and remains reserved exclusively for the company's own corporate use, with no registration process open to individuals or external companies.
.amazon is a single-registrant brand extension, reserved exclusively for Amazon. Its delegation was delayed for several years due to a lengthy dispute before ICANN with several South American countries of the Amazon basin (grouped under the Amazon Cooperation Treaty Organization), who opposed a private company controlling a name with geographic connotation. It is not available for public registration under any circumstances. Contact our team if you need guidance on alternatives for your project.
