gTLD statistics
Daily domain counts, registrar market share, registry backends and DNSSEC adoption across 1,132 generic top-level domains, new and legacy, built entirely from ICANN and IANA public data.
A further 44 gTLDs hold 397,786 domains that are not in this total: we have no zone file for them, so they are only visible in their registries' monthly reports. Both clocks explained.
Total domains by month, Apr 2016 – Apr 2026

From ICANN's monthly registry reports, across up to 1,122 gTLDs. Not every registry files every month — in the thinnest month here, 2.8% of the TLDs that existed filed nothing — so the line is a floor rather than an exact total.

Data currency. Domain counts on this page are from zone files dated and refresh daily. Registrar figures are from ICANN's monthly registry reports for April 2026, which ICANN publishes about three months in arrears; zone files contain no registrar information, so no fresher source exists.
