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 September 2025.
Here are some takeaways from this month’s data:
-
- NameSilo recently announced that it has exceeded 6 million domains under management. As of September, it has 1.8 million .com domains under management. nTLDstats records that it has 2.5 million new TLDs, led by .top, .sbs, and .xyz.
- Although it didn’t make the top 10, Unstoppable Domains surged with 59,635 new .com registrations in September.
- TurnCommerce continues to registrar large numbers of domains after taking a hiatus.

Thanks for sharing. Very useful and informative data. I am a regular subscriber of DNW.
Newfold Digital are domain squatters, sitting on a large inventory of domains previously registered with them. Let’s say it’s somewhere close to 1 million. That means that the % decline in “user registered domains” is actually far higher, reflecting their unethical business practices and sliding market share.
