Amazon has offered them subdomains based on their country code, so .br.amazon for example. But they want to share access on the root domain, but that's not really how domain name systems were designed. They are designed to be hierarchical, so it makes sense for Amazon to grant full control of a subdomain to them rather than share.
Sharing would be a security nightmare also. Imagine any cookies set for .amazon ? How would the browser share between amazon subdomains vs non if they shared the root?
- joking 8y agotop level tlds could not set a cookie, but everything else applies.
- souterrain 8y agoDomain name systems are designed to be hierarchical, so it makes sense for Amazon to register within this hierarchy, which they already have, i.e., amazon.com. The nations of the Amazon basin have a more complex situation regarding fitting within the hierarchy. Perhaps amazon.int?
- SmellyGeekBoy 8y agoWhy would a cookie be set for .amazon? I've never known a website to set a cookie for .com, for example. That would be silly.
