Just had a look - it appears you’ve got nine .com domains registered with your brand name in the same second on GoDaddy: explore/get/join/meet/my/team/the/tryEXAMPLE.com and EXAMPLEconnect.com.

The Cloudflare redirect likely has GoDaddy underneath, based on what’s visible at myEXAMPLE.com/lander and others.

Half of the domains are set for Outlook Mail, the other for Google Mail which points to a potential email game.

It doesn’t make things safer that your brand name is a top-400 frequency word in one of the European languages. Not owning your .com and having a dozen businesses with similar names just compounds the risk.

What to do really depends on the specifics of your case, including trademark and competition factors. If you’re stuck, feel free to ping me at aghackernews [at] gmail.
