Endings

The 8 most used of the 13 top-level domains these lookalikes sit under.

Where they are registered

For the 170 with a registrar in WHOIS (77% 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

16 of these lookalikes were registered and checked for a website and mail: 2 (13%) served a website and 12 (75%) 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 9 live ones checked against it.

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

Recent examples

The 10 most recent, written with [.] so they cannot be clicked. The brand's own domains and registrations held by brand-protection registrars are left out. A lookalike resembles GoDaddy; it is not necessarily malicious, and none of these is a claim about who registered it or why.
