So today I learnt that Amazon.com is acutally hosted on Google Cloud Platform uses Google Domains as well as 1&1 Hosting, alongside Adobe TagManager and Google Analytics. Who could have known? \s Something is really off there, what do you do to get these results? https://sitestacks.com/amazon.com

wow !! unsure if that's actually true.

It's at least partially true:

This is valid: https://mail.google.com/a/amazon.com

This is not valid: https://mail.google.com/a/thisisafakedomain.cx

All that means is that they at least used Google Apps at one time. I have a number of abandoned accounts that show as valid even though the domains are dead and the accounts are no longer used.

The same type of domain enumeration doesn't work for Drive.

These tools never work well, usually a weak combination of scraping the html, JS tags and checking DNS entries. Siftery tried something similar with a bunch of VC raised and is equally bad.

The only decent one is http://builtwith.com which also happens to be a great 1-man business.

Both sites use the same domain provider and the same SSL cert provider. I'd say with medium confidence they are probably 2 products of the same company.

I don't see you (OP) responding to anyone. The 2 posts from you are both promoting the site.

We are looking into the data discrepancies, it might take a bit of time to get through the individual errors. DNS + Registrar data seem to have brought on false positives. We need to beef up on Front-end tech too. The real time mapper needs work.

Humbling comments really, we have our work cut out.
