Nextdoor lookalike domains
Greyphish has recorded 90 domains that resemble Nextdoor since February 2026, 17 of them in the last 90 days. They split between combosquats (59%) and typosquats (37%). .com carries 67% of them, out of 21 endings in all. The pace has picked up, with 11 in the last 30 days against 3 in the 30 before. 1 certificate for unregistered .ph names (registry wildcard) is excluded: the registry answers for any name under that ending, so nobody had to register one to get a certificate for it.

Where they are registered
For the 58 with a registrar in WHOIS (64% 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.

|---|---|---|---|
| GoDaddy | 11 | 19.0% | Retail |
| Namecheap | 4 | 6.9% | Retail |
