Where they are registered
For the 55 with a registrar in WHOIS (79% 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.

|---|---|---|---|
| Cloudflare | 10 | 18.2% | Retail |
| GoDaddy | 8 | 14.5% | Retail |
