Registrar figures are for May 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.

Registry details

From the IANA Root Zone Database and RDAP bootstrap.

Registry operator: Plan Bee LLC
Technical backend: CentralNic (Team Internet) via rdap host
Delegated: 18 Jan 2014
Nameservers: a.nic.build, b.nic.build, c.nic.build, d.nic.build
RDAP: https://rdap.centralnic.com/build
Zone data: CZDS access approved — counted daily

11,106 attributed to registrars in May 2026, against 11,962 in 2 Sep 2026’s zone — the zone is 856 larger. 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.

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 2 September 2026 and refresh daily. Registrar figures are from ICANN's monthly registry reports for May 2026, which ICANN publishes about three months in arrears; zone files contain no registrar information, so no fresher source exists.
