    You mean one click regs???

    Nice find

    Seems they are following were the money was... actually only the biggest players (registrars) make the money...

    They are very innovative though; Lets see what they bring to the table..

    So there goes a question..

    What domain or subdomain will amazon use for regs?

    I put on my thinking cap and for a laugh came up with the name domazon.com. Checked the whois and by coincidence it's a name in the redemption period.

    I don't think Amazon needs to go out and chase any customers. They already have their database of current/old customers and affiliates to target. The only question is how many of those would consider switching registrars or register a domain?

    oh no. Another registrar. Amazon.com should just concentrate on their current products and services.
