Registrar figures are for April 2026. ICANN publishes monthly registry reports about three months in arrears, and they are the only source that attributes domains to registrars — zone files do not contain registrar information. Methodology.

Do people keep it?

all renewal rates ›

Of the 12,116 domains that came up for renewal between May 2025 and Apr 2026, the share renewed rather than deleted. How this is computed.

For comparison, the median gTLD keeps 69.15% and .com, .net and .org together keep 73.25%. One caveat specific to this TLD: 1 filing in this window reports up to 9,393 renewals or deletions against a peak of 4,285 domains, which is not possible. The figure above is as filed; setting those months aside gives 13.38%.

2,866 attributed to registrars in Apr 2026, against 1,349 in 18 Aug 2026’s zone — the zone is 1,517 smaller. The two are months apart, and a registry's own count also includes registrations that are not delegated in the zone. Why there are two clocks.

Domains by month, Nov 2016 – Apr 2026

From ICANN's monthly registry reports — the registry's own count, summed across registrars. This is the long history: it reaches back to delegation, where the daily series below can only start when this site began collecting zone files.

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. Full detail on methodology and live pipeline status.
