| | Alternative Perspectives on Registrar Market Share: Fortune 1000, the Forbes International 500, and the Yahoo Directory |
 | | In this research, I document the registrars used by each of the Fortune 1000 companies, by each of the Forbes International 500 companies, and by each listing in Yahoo; I subsequently compare these registration patterns with the registrars used by the entire domain name registration market. |
 | | In the short run, this analysis suggests that while, for example, Emarkmonitor may be a small registrar, with less than 0.01% of all registrations, it might nonetheless be and remain a commercially viable operation thanks to a sizable number of major corporate clients paying, it seems likely, above-average registration fees. |
 | | The Fortune and Forbes work described here discusses only the primary domains used by the respective firms, as reported by the respective magazines. |
