Dominet

About 41k a month, which is 0.5% of every domain registered anywhere. That counts new registrations rather than the domains it holds, which is a much larger number and one no public data source measures directly.

Its share of new registrations has fallen by 1 percentage points against the same months of last year, to 0.5%. Share is the useful measure here: the whole market grew, so a registrar can register more domains than last year and still be losing ground.

It registered domains across 178 extensions this year. 47.5% of what it sells is .top.

.us. It handles 15% of everything registered under that extension, 28.7 times its 0.5% share of the market overall. That ratio is the useful one: it shows where a registrar is unusually strong rather than simply where it sells the most.

The average is 8.5 characters, 49.5% contain a digit and 4% contain a hyphen. A high digit share indicates bulk registration rather than names someone sat down and chose, so this is the closest thing to a read on who a registrar's customers actually are.

0.2% do, against 100% who take a single year. Multi-year registrations are a minority almost everywhere, so the differences between registrars are large in relative terms.

28.5% use alidns.com. About 10.5% of them sit on a parking or for-sale page rather than a working site. Measured across 2025, the last period for which nameserver data is complete.

July 2027 is the busiest month ahead, with about 130k reaching their renewal date. Renewal peaks trail registration peaks by exactly a year, so whatever is not renewed then becomes available again.

Yes. Dominet is an ICANN-accredited registrar, IANA ID 3775, and sells directly to the public with no membership or eligibility requirement.

Yes. A domain can be transferred to another registrar sixty days after it is registered or last transferred, which is an ICANN rule rather than a registrar policy. You need the authorisation code from your current registrar and the domain must not be locked.
