Endings

The 8 most used of the 22 top-level domains these lookalikes sit under.

Where they are registered

For the 148 with a registrar in WHOIS (81% of all). Brand-protection registrars mostly hold defensive registrations made by brands themselves, so a domain there is more likely the brand's own than an imitation.

What the live ones do

34 of these lookalikes were registered and checked for a website and mail: 17 (50%) served a website and 14 (41%) publish MX records, so they can receive email. Checks run on the higher-severity matches that resolve, not on every lookalike.

Google Web Risk lists none of the 8 live ones checked against it.

9 were tracked while live and 0 have since gone down. See what to do about a lookalike.
