I figure that as this is an Amazon product it will most likely be available through their domain registration via Route 53.

After wading through the control panel, I finally found the domain registration section. But there is no .bot option as yet.

Judging by the pricing of other boutique TLDs, listed there, it will probably be a rip off. (Yup, all pure conjecture on my part.)

Do you have to sign up for Route 53 to get that section? It appears that I have to pay just to be a member. Or maybe I'm just finding the wrong thing.

I think you need an AWS account. Then login, go to dashboard->route 53. But there is no option for the .bot tld yet.

Perhaps keep an eye on this list: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/reg...

Looking through that Gandi seem to be a strong associate, they are pre-reserving there.

I got way downvoted for my previous comment. Interesting! lol

That said, I didn't even realize Amazon had a domain registration section. I'm with you that it'll be a total rip off. I'm hoping it's not that absurd because it'd be a really fun one to own!

You were downvoted because it added nothing to the discussion.
