Here is a on-going list of active corporate domain name providers that I am aware of. These companies provide domain name services to the largest companies and domain names they own. These companies also purchase and register domain names on behalf of their clients as well as act as secret domain name buyers.

Example domain, ZeroGrand.com Whois history record 4/18/2014 (shown above). Domain later switched to MarkMonitor. BoldMetals.com is another example and now “client” happens to register both .net and .org domains.
Further connection from above… Domains registered at GoDaddy and DNS set to NS1.DSREDIRECTION.COM
They also simply use whois privacy and the NS1.DSREDIRECTION.COM via GoDaddy and PDR LTD. registrar (PublicDomainRegistry.com. Often times domains are listed for sale via Sedo.

“Zheng Weiping”
ChromeBase.net … Google purchased the .com domain from NameAdmin on or about 3/22/2014 . “Weiping Zheng” “[email protected]” registered the .net on 3/20/2014. Google used MarkMonitor and there is no way “weiping Zheng” would have known about the .com purchase taking place to register the .net on the date they did. This is solid proof that MarkMonitor is behind the name and email.
wang cenda [email protected] (progressinmind.com buyer) contact email address: [email protected] “Georg.Jensen” was the name used.
