How to tell if an Amazon website is genuine

Look at the actual domain in the address bar, not just the Amazon logo, page design or wording. A page can look like Amazon while being hosted on a completely different domain.

For UK shoppers, amazon.co.uk is an official Amazon domain. Genuine subdomains can also sit underneath that domain. For example, a hostname ending in .amazon.co.uk is still within the amazon.co.uk domain.

A web address that merely contains the word “Amazon” is not automatically an official Amazon website. The position of the domain name matters, which is why GenuineWebsite checks the actual hostname rather than simply searching the URL for the word Amazon.

Why check an Amazon link?

Amazon itself warns that fake websites can be made to look like Amazon and recommends checking the web address carefully. If a message about an order seems unexpected, Amazon advises checking your orders directly rather than trusting the link in the message.

GenuineWebsite is designed to answer the narrower identity question: does the website address match an official domain for the organisation it appears to represent?

Amazon website questions

Is Amazon.co.uk a genuine Amazon website?

Yes. Amazon's own UK Conditions of Use identify Amazon.co.uk as its UK website.

Does an Amazon logo prove a website is genuine?

No. Logos and page designs can be copied. Check the actual domain name.

Is every website with “Amazon” in the address official?

No. A different domain can include the word Amazon in its name or elsewhere in the URL. What matters is the actual hostname.

Does a genuine Amazon domain mean everything on the page is safe?

No. A domain match is evidence about website identity. It is not a guarantee about every seller, product, offer, link or piece of content on the site.
