MarkMonitor

MarkMonitor (owned by the massive data conglomerate Clarivate) is the absolute, undisputed "Fort Knox" of the Corporate Domain Name industry. It is the registrar of choice for the world's most heavily targeted companies. If you look up the WHOIS data for Google.com, Apple.com, or Microsoft.com, you will see that they do not use GoDaddy; they use MarkMonitor. Its absolute primary focus is preventing "Domain Hijacking." If a hacker successfully steals the primary domain of a massive bank, the bank ceases to exist on the internet. MarkMonitor prevents this via highly manual, physical security protocols. To transfer a domain out of MarkMonitor, a designated corporate executive often has to physically answer a phone call and provide a verbal passphrase to a human MarkMonitor agent. Alongside this ultra-secure hosting, it provides massive Brand Protection scanning. It actively monitors the internet for "Typosquatting" (e.g., someone registering g00gle.com to steal passwords). When it detects a malicious lookalike domain, its legal engine automatically initiates UDRP (Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy) proceedings to legally seize the domain and hand it back to the rightful corporation.
