A look at the top 10 .com registrars for both new monthly registrations and total domains under management.
ICANN has published the latest data from Verisign (NASDAQ: VRSN) covering the .com namespace. The data covers August 2025.
Here are some takeaways from this month’s data:
-
- Cloudflare entered the monthly top 10 list for the first time.
- TurnCommerce (DropCatch) increased its year-over-year registrations significantly for the second month in a row. It might be returning to buy mode, or it might have a customer ramping up.
Below is a chart showing the performance of the largest registrars in terms of new registrations in August 2025, which are the latest available numbers.

Thanks for sharing, Andrew. Really interesting data.
I dont understand the Cloudflare obsession.
How do you use Cloudflare if they dont let you change your domain Nameservers?
Probably DNS records?
Thank you so much!
i will look into it.
I know Cloudflare made a name for itself in security and got into Registrar business.
They’re growing fast. It’s my only question!
PSI-USA (usually about 1 Mio. domains) also belongs to IONOS
PSI-USA changed its accreditation name to InterNetX and is included in the totals.
Cloudflare hitting the top 10 for .com new registrations is a big deal, especially since they don’t even let you change nameservers. It shows how many people are drawn to their no-markup pricing and tight integration with their security and performance tools. Not for everyone, but clearly working for a fast-growing segment.
