GoDaddy appears to have lost the last remnants of its Amazon back-end registry services deal.<\/strong><\/p>\n IANA records show that GoDaddy was recently replaced by Identity Digital as the technical contact for all of the remaining 12 gTLDs it was serving.<\/p>\n The gTLDs in question are: .coupon, .song, .zero and the IDNs .\u30b9\u30c8\u30a2, .\u30bb\u30fc\u30eb, .\u5bb6\u96fb, .\u30af\u30e9\u30a6\u30c9, .\u98df\u54c1, .\u30d5\u30a1\u30c3\u30b7\u30e7\u30f3, .\u66f8\u7c4d, .\u30dd\u30a4\u30f3\u30c8 and .\u901a\u8ca9, which are generic terms for things like \u201cfashion\u201d and \u201cbooks\u201d.<\/p>\n Five of the IDNs have actually launched and have been generally available for years, but they\u2019re been phenomenally unsuccessful \u2014 the largest zone has just 146 domains in it. The remaining seven are dormant, unlaunched.<\/p>\n Amazon originally used GoDaddy (then Neustar) for all 54 of the gTLDs it successfully applied for back in the 2012 gTLD application round, but it switched all but 12 of them<\/a> to Nominet back in 2019, where they remain today.<\/p>\n If you find this post or this blog useful or interestjng, please support Domain Incite<\/a>, the independent source of news, analysis and opinion for the domain name industry and ICANN community.<\/b>\n<\/p>\n \n\t\tTweet<\/a><\/p>\n
