Maaaany years ago, I encountered a sort of incomplete domain on the net.

Today, I saw a similar situation of a domain (.co)  behaving like a monopoly.  What are they doing,  why,  is it legal ?   Check this search results,  multiple addresses or sites directing to same subscription request.

Choose images if not images; at least the different  ".co"  shown behave the same.  What is going on ?

Somebody bought a lot of domain names and set them all to a single ip address. There is nothing stopping you buying multiple .com domains etc. It could also be whoever owns the tld has set every domain to the same ip address until it is bought by somebody. Some scammers eg.. fake tech support. buy multiple domains so if one gets shut down they continue business on the others.

Yeah, Colombia '.co' is a popular one due to how close it is to Commercial '.com'.

Big sites tend to scoop up their .co versions to head off any problems.

ie.
