Big firms recently registered these domain names

Here are some interesting domain name registrations undertaken by sizable firms in recent days.

Firms made a bunch of hand registrations and domain acquisitions the past couple days. Although none of them rise to the level of writing a dedicated article regarding them, I think it’s worth combining them into a single article…

I don’t know what to make of the registration of MakeAmericaGreatAgainApp.com. It right now uses Mark Monitor’s whois privacy service, but Donald Trump‘s campaign domains are over at GoDaddy.

Salesforce.com bought Quotable.com. The firm is big on generic domains, counting Data.com and Work.com.

Amazon.com continues to register dozens of domain names related to its recently-disclosed AWS tools Lumberyard, GameLift and GameDev, such as amazonlumberyard.cn, amazon-gamelift.com and awsgamedev.jp.

CBS Studios registered a bunch of domains: bayouandbbq.com, delineatedirection.com, drakemotelva.com, picketfencewatch.com, rowfinder.com, and tracebearing.com. I don’t watch much TV, so someone more in tune with CBS might be able to shed some light on these.

What do you make of Warner Bros‘ registration of bendenoncesen.combendenoncesenFilm.com and sendenonceben.com? It also registered domains for its Fly A Little Higher movie, such as theflyalittlehighermovie.net.

Wonga, a UK payday loans firm, registered a slew of defensive domain names along the lines of installmentswonga.com

Conair must be getting ready to release a fresh product. They registered Optima3000.com, Prima3000.net

Security firm Kaspersky registered PureCharger.com. I’m surprised this domain was available for registration.
