Protected Domains Registry

Phishing actors increasingly spoof trusted brands by replacing the letter “m” with the pair “rn” in domain names (e.g., microsoft.comrnicrosoft.com). To prevent abuse, we proactively register high-risk lookalike domains before malicious actors can weaponize them. Any domain listed here will always remain protected and never be used for malicious purposes.

This is not just theory — it’s now considered industry best practice. Leading organizations such as Amazon and Paramount have taken the proactive step of acquiring their lookalike “rn” domains — arnazon.com and pararnount.com — and redirecting them to their official domains. Doing so demonstrates credibility, reduces phishing risk, and strengthens overall brand protection.

If you’re a verified DNS or domain owner, you can request a safe redirection, or even purchase a protected domain — ensuring your users never land on a malicious impostor site.

Redirect to Protect

When you rent a redirect for a protected domain, you’re not just safeguarding your users—you’re also funding the ongoing protection of phishing-friendly lookalike domains. Your contribution helps us proactively acquire, renew, and monitor high-risk names before bad actors can weaponize them.
