gTLD renewal rates

Every other page here counts domains. This one asks whether anyone wanted them a second year. Keep rate is the share of domains reaching a renewal decision that were renewed rather than deleted — May 2025 – Apr 2026, from the registries' own monthly reports to ICANN.

A keep rate is not a survival rate. A domain registered for three years reaches a decision once, not annually, so a TLD sold on long terms shows fewer renewals and fewer deletions rather than a different ratio. Renewals include auto-renewals, deletions include names dropped in the grace period, and transfers are excluded — a transfer is not a renewal decision, though it often carries one. How this is computed.

683 monthly filings report deleting more domains than the TLD has ever held. Those rates are shown as filed and marked filing, with the figure excluding the impossible month beside them. Nothing is silently dropped.

Data currency. Domain counts on this page are from zone files dated 18 August 2026 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.
