    About .zero domain

    The .zero domain is a brand gTLD (generic top-level domain) operated by Amazon. It was delegated to the root zone on 5 December 2015 as part of ICANN's New gTLD Program. The registry is managed by Amazon's Intellectual Property group, which maintains a proprietary Domain Management Policy for the extension. All domains registered under .zero remain the property of Amazon.

    Who can register .zero domain

    Registration of a .zero domain name is not open to the public. It is a closed, brand TLD where eligibility is determined solely by Amazon. Domains may not be delegated or assigned to third-party organizations, institutions, or individuals. All domains are provisioned in line with Amazon's internal business goals and technical architecture requirements.

    How to register .zero domain

    .Zero domains are not allocated through commercial registrars. Amazon's Intellectual Property group controls the entire allocation process. Registration involves an internal procedure of eligibility confirmation, naming convention checks, acceptable use review, and final registration. All domains remain Amazon's property and are licensed for use according to its internal Domain Management Policy, which the company can update as needed.

    Typical uses of .zero domain

    The .zero TLD serves as a dedicated, internal platform for Amazon's own online communication and technical infrastructure.

By using this brand TLD, Amazon maintains additional control over its technical architecture and intellectual property, differentiating its internal systems from its public-facing domains.
