Yeah it makes sense for these companies to get premium names,especially for the traffic, I see a lot of them redirect to their main site so it can only be beneficial to them.

If you check, that is just a couple of premium names they own, some of them own a lot more premium names

Thanks @alcy

 

[alcy]

yep. enjoy.

yes I am sure some of them own more domains like you say.. perhaps the ones listed here are their most valuable ones? I guess its possible.
other option is they keep rest private.. and only those leaked out.. or were given to public.. possible too.

I am sure most domainers came across a few of those already.. google etc.. but to me most of this was unknown.. so this stuff is always fun to read

yeah, most dont have private whois, I think for that article they just picked a few...some other examples of some big premium owners...check out CBS's names??

When you post others peoples research you need to include a source link. Otherwise you are just ripping them off. Especially for a list that is posted monthly here at NP.
