f.e. most domains don't connect a specific company (eg. Microsoft, Apple, etc) with domain registrations.

... 99% registrars ToS ref.; the whois/registrant data is provided "as is" with no guarantee or warranties regarding its accuracy.

hmm, I don't know where they get the numbers, but I suspect companies own a lot more than a few thousand domain names.

Check out this Quora that was a few years old

So HugeDomains is not considered a company?

This is what happens when a journalist is clueless in the subject he is writing about.

They ranked the companies based on total traffic across their domains, then basically compared who has more domains AMONG those top traffic names. And that is what should have been made clear there.

"The firm's research has revealed that Google's parent company Alphabet receives the most traffic with almost 120bn visits per month. The company owns 422 domains with the largest being google.com"

I don't want to plug my our own service, but these numbers are nowhere near reality:

These numbers are not accurate. Proctor & Gamble owns a few thousand domains.

This is a paid piece they kept spamming me about the data is nowhere close to right. TechRadar does a lot of sponsored posts and paid posts for the backlink. I ignored the three emails the data was so bad.

Microsoft owns many more names than Unilever.

The registrant's email address is associated with 68,641 domains, and the registrant organization name is associated with 50,461 domains. Combined, a total of 74,240 related domains were identified.

No journalists were involved the people at aira.net kept sending emails to post their report, I would imagine for the valuable backlink.

It makes sense MS would own more.

Judging by their registrant email Unilever owns over 4K domainnames. They operate over 1K brands so that number seems a bit on the low side actually.

I wish it were true, since when I first read it I was all set to brag to my friends I owned more domains than Apple and Microsoft!

But then various informed people point out that the numbers are not right . Accurate data kills so many great stories!

Thank you to all who set the story straight. I guess.
