I was searching for something and decided to try Amazon. By mistake I typed Amamzon.com and as soon as I hit enter I realized I had the wrong address. So I hit Esc as I did not want one of those parked sites to come up, but was amazed to find that the domain converted to the right URL before the browser actually stopped.
That kind of made me curious and a check with betterwhois.com confirmed that Amamzon.com (also amaxon.com) was actually registered to Amazon.com (though not Amanzon.com).
So how many domains does Amazon actually own that are similar to its own?


Google also owns lots of misspelled website names. Try gooogle, googel, gogle. Everything works. ;)
