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 October 2025.
Here are some takeaways from this month’s data:
-
- Dynadot crossed the 3 million domains under management mark, narrowly missing the top 10 overall.
- Tucows shed 400k domains in one month and now has fewer than 10 million .com domains under management on its own accreditations.
- Monthly registrations continue to be lumpy, especially at registrars catering to China
Below is a chart showing the performance of the largest registrars in terms of new registrations in October 2025, 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.
