Big on city .Delivery domain names — Amazon goes

Firm registers major city domain names in fresh .delivery top level domain name.

Amazon.com is obsessed with improving delivery, from its local locker pickup to Sunday delivery to delivery by drone.

So perhaps it shouldn’t come as a big surprise that the firm registered a bunch of city.delivery domain names when they became available earlier this month. Here are some of the top 30 metro area domain names it registered at a premium during “Early Access”:

Atlanta.delivery Boston.delivery Charlotte.delivery Chicago.delivery Dallas.delivery Denver.delivery Houston.delivery LosAngeles.delivery Miami.delivery NewYork.delivery Phoenix.delivery Portland.delivery SanDiego.delivery SanFrancisco.delivery Seattle.delivery WashingtonDC.delivery

The firm passed over a number of city names, which were registered by InnovationHQ instead. I don’t know what this means for Amazon’s plans or favoratism toward certain cities, but here are some that InnovationHQ picked up a few days later:

Baltimore.delivery Cleveland.delivery Detroit.delivery KansasCity.delivery Minneapolis.delivery Orlando.delivery Philadelphia.delivery Pittsburgh.delivery
