Netflix has Multiple Domains - Equinox - 03-08-2014
I was surfing the internet, you know, with a surf board, and decided to mess with the Netflix domain.
Turns out, netflix has multiple domains that all point to netflix.com.
Netflix.com
Netfix.com
Netflx.com
Neflix.com
Netfilx.com
It's a smart thing to do, and I applause them for this.
But some people don't think this is very good.
Do you guys think this is a good idea?

I applause for them too.
Usually hosting/survey people will take them.

Yeah, I guess it's a good idea, but me, being the precautions person I am, I wouldn't login to it, I'd rather go to netflix.com

Its to prevent phishing by misspelling the URL

It might be phishing itself... We'll never know... (Unless it has SSL)

Do none of them redirect to the actual site?
If not, assume phishing unless its got a signed cert

This is really common to hopefully prevent phishers from fuzzing the URL.
