1 attributed to registrars in Jun 2024, against 1 in 19 Aug 2026’s zone — the zone is 0 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.
Domains by month, Jun 2023 – Jun 2024
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.
