Where this comes from
Every figure is traceable
Nothing on this page is estimated or modelled. Each metric names the source it came from and the month it was observed, and a metric with no observation is shown as unknown rather than filled with a zero.
- ICANN gTLD Registry Agreement Data View source
- ICANN Monthly Registry Activity Reports View source
- ICANN Monthly Registry Reports View source
- TLD registry-published statistics View source
Enrichment snapshot generated . Registry reporting runs a month or two behind, so the newest observation is rarely this month.

The numbers describe the extension. Domain Hunter Gatherer finds the individual names inside it that are actually available and actually worth your time.
