Where they are registered
For the 79 with a registrar in WHOIS (75% 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.
| Registrar | Lookalikes | Share | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| GoDaddy | 14 | 17.7% | Retail |
| Above.com | 8 | 10.1% | Retail |
| Media Elite Holdings | 6 | 7.6% | Retail |
| Namecheap | 5 | 6.3% | Retail |
| Spaceship | 5 | 6.3% | Retail |

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 Nintendo; it is not necessarily malicious, and none of these is a claim about who registered it or why.
