About the .WANGGOU domain

What is the .WANGGOU domain?

The .wanggou is a brand generic top-level domain (gTLD), delegated to the root zone on December 8, 2015, and managed by Amazon Registry Services, Inc., based in Seattle.

The term "wanggou" (网购) means "online shopping" in Chinese, and this extension was originally tied to Amazon's e-commerce activity in the Chinese market. However, Amazon closed its domestic retail business in China in 2019 to focus on cross-border sales to Chinese consumers, raising some uncertainty about this extension's actual current use. In any case, .wanggou remains a closed brand extension owned by Amazon, with no registration process open to individuals or external companies.
