Methodology & sources
All figures come from the official publications of the responsible registries and are checked and entered by hand every quarter. Every data point carries its source.
The percentages come from third parties and are quoted with source, date and link. They measure different things and are therefore not directly comparable: market share estimates, presence in crawled websites and DNS operator shares produce different numbers for the same provider.
The two sections differ in how solid they are: the domain figures come straight from the registries and are official. The provider market shares are third-party estimates that diverge depending on the method used — which is why every figure names its source, metric and date.
