  And subsequently Amazon's neo feudalism?

    Buy your stuff at the mom and pop store or Walmart, host your apps on Digital Ocean, bam, no longer an Amazon vassal.

  There's also other company-specific gTLDs, like .google and .gle for Google, .ovh for OVHCloud, and .george for George, the clothing brand own by Walmart IIRC.

    Google also got .dev, I believe, which ruffled some feathers.
    • collegeburner 4y ago
      google runs it as a normal domain tho not a brand specific one. like half the ppl on this site have a .dev domain in they bios.

    Microsoft has some influence on the .ms TLD. We settled on a .ms domain for a project, and ultimately scraped it in favor of our current name because we couldn’t get Route53 to pick it up. Initially I thought it was an AWS bug and even reported it to them to no avail. I did some more digging and discovered Microsoft was using .ms for doc sites, and it started to add up. I believe AWS is intentionally not routing traffic to TLDs associated with Microsoft.
