According to TechCrunch.com,Amazon.com has just acquired the A.co,Z.co, K.co and Cloud.co domain names .This acquisition was a deal made with the domain registry .CO . Amazon acquired these domain names for an undisclosed price . Overstock has also acquired a while ago O.co domain names and rebranded its operations as O.co,while GoDaddy acquired X.co and Twitter purchased T.co domain name .“With every allocation of a single letter domain name the pool of these gets less and less, with every sale we do the resource becomes smaller. We have a very long list of people who want one letter and two letter domains and price will be set high enough that each person who buys one of these will use it.”,said Lori Anne Wardi ,a CO representative .“We’re not looking for a major brand to switch over to .co, but every day new companies are starting and can’t get the domain name that they want.We want to be the domain of the next Twitter and the next Facebook.” she added .
.CO Registry is about to hit 1 million .co domain name registrations and wants to set up a pricing plan for one and two letter .CO domain names .
