History of gTLD domain name growth

This page provides monthly totals on the total  number of gTLD (com, net, org, biz, info) domains registered worldwide which provide a useful gauge of the growth of the Internet.  This data lists the number of domains in the root zone file for each TLD.

These numbers, however, are the net total (number of existing domains + new registrations - expired domains) and thus do not accurately represent the the gTLD domain name market.  Please see Zooknic Zaps for up to the minute data on the domain name market.

This page is only updated quarterly but data is collected constantly.  Please contact us with requests for more recent counts.
