Andrew, this .com rankings article you do every month or so shows only the top ten. Any chance you can expand on it (even once in a while if it’s cumbersome, say 2, 3, or 6 months) to show perhaps the top 20/30/50? It would be nice to see what other registrars are on the outside, and how far out they are.
Great idea! Here it is:
