    About .wanggou domain

    .wanggou is a brand gTLD operated by Amazon Registry Services, Inc., delegated to the DNS Root Zone on 15 December 2015 as part of ICANN's 2012 New gTLD Program. It is a closed, brand-level extension meaning all domains within the registry remain the property of Amazon and are not available for public registration. Amazon applied for this extension to gain greater control over its technical architecture and to protect its intellectual property. The registry is governed by an internal Domain Management Policy maintained by Amazon's Intellectual Property group.

This makes .wanggou a platform for Amazon to deploy branded web properties, protect intellectual property, and maintain a secure, controlled online environment aligned with its e-commerce activities.
