Here’s the latest data about the .com namespace, including a surprise entry on the top 10 list.
ICANN has published the latest data from Verisign (NASDAQ: VRSN) covering the .com namespace. The data covers June 2024.
A few things stand out in this month’s report:
- Porkbun celebrated its two million domain milestone in June and had a banner month for new registrations. I believe this is the first time Porkbun has landed on the monthly list.
- Namecheap topped 10 million .coms in June, as expected
- Note the overall domains under management drop at GoDaddy and TurnCommerce. It might be something to keep an eye on, especially since TurnCommerce had a down month for new registrations, too.
Below is a chart showing how the largest registrars did in terms of new registrations in June 2024, which are the latest available numbers. Note that the rankings include multiple registrar accreditations within families of registrars. You can see the list of registrars at the end of this post.
