3,627 domains as of April 2026, from the registry's own report to ICANN. No zone file is available for this TLD, so there is no daily count — why there are two clocks.

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.
