Correct, MarkMonitor is a _huge_ business. Alphabet has had an account there for much longer than they have been a Registrar under Google name.



How exactly was that story of a man owning Google.com through Google domains for a few minutes possible, then?


He didn't own the name, he found a way to change the DNS records; while being registered at MM, google.com is still pointed to Google's own DNS servers.


A freak accident and lack of checks.
