Company registers major city domain names in new .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 company 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 company 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

Go Daddy is offering names in the .delivery extension for around 50 bux just now.(48.99) Definitely geared towards end users.I have several domains related to local delivery in .com.But I sure would’nt be able to speculate in the .delivery space at that price point.

Good for Amazon. I would like seeing a company with their reputation get behind these. They’ve become well known for fast, low price delivery.

If they buy the domains from us, hopefully they’ll deliver the check via drone. 🙂
