    Who gains and who loses. Percentage change alongside the absolute gain — both matter, because one percent means something different for a large TLD than for a small one.

    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.

    Registries count differently: depending on the operator, "registered" domains may include those in transfer or cancellation periods. Comparisons between TLDs should therefore be read as orders of magnitude. Population figures are used solely for the per-capita calculation.
