Very weird they do not use the amazon domain for that and yet it looks exactly like amazon.

Teaching consumers bad habits.

It appears to be a service hosted by Thomson Reuters:

Many more examples (including several large companies) can be found at:

That's a really good point, and one that I will be bringing up with my manager immediately after re:Invent (I am part of the AWS team).

If I remember correctly, it has to do with disclosure requirements.

Corporate-IR (or whoever runs that domain) meets the criteria/is authorized for disclosure of information to investors.

Other companies use them too, for example NVIDIA: http://phx.corporate-ir.net/phoenix.zhtml?c=116466&p=irol-ir...

Yeah, think of something like earnings reports. It's very important that no one gets early access, and very useful to have a third party handle it so you can prove that no one has early access. And if the third party screws it up, they get investigated by the SEC, not you.

I particularly like how http://phx.corporate-ir.net/ does a 302 to http://www.ccbn.com/ which doesn't even go anywhere.

I saw the previous developer of the CCBN (Corporate Communications Broadcast Network) pop up on in the HN comments last time this was mentioned to explain its stagnation and mishandling after being bought by Thomson-Reuters. Can't find it now myself; anyone else have the link?

This one? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5787892

Interestingly, it seems like they recently sold it to NASDAQ: http://corporatesolutions.thomsonreuters.com/investor-relati...

(op here) - I can't edit the link sadly. Should've linked to Jeff's AWS blog post.
