Most Popular Corporate Domain Registrars

I was reading a transfer email from Moniker, which had the following statement: “Moniker has earned the business of many of the largest and most predominant customers in the Fortune 500 and domain space – including: Jupitermedia, Marchex, The NHL, Lions Gate Films, Major League Baseball, Mainstream Adverstising, Nokta, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, and many others.”

I think it would be interesting to see where some of the largest companies register their domain names. Below is a list of companies and their domain registrar:
