Well sort of anyway.

I ran a whois (http://www.whois.co.uk) on Microsoft and got this :


Server Name: MICROSOFT.COM.RUNS.ON.AN.8088.ORG

This Domain microsoft.com is Registered



Server Name: MICROSOFT.COM.RAWKZ.MUH.WERLD.MENTALFLOSS.CA

This Domain microsoft.com is Registered



Server Name: MICROSOFT.COM.OHMYGODITBURNS.COM
IP Address: 216.158.63.6

This Domain microsoft.com is Registered
And the list continues. it is the same for all the major sites, Yahoo, Google, MSN, etc.


Pretty wierd.

Old game that one. A straight whois check gives me the following. It's fewer than there used to be:

.com is a domain of USA & International Commercial
Searches for .com can be run at http://www.crsnic.net/

whois -h whois.crsnic.net microsoft.com ...

Domain names in the .com and .net domains can now be registered
with many different competing registrars. Go to http://www.internic.net
