Here’s how domain registrars fared with .com in the most recent public data.
ICANN has published the latest official data from Verisign (NASDAQ: VRSN) about the .com namespace. This registrar-by-registrar report covers August 2023.
Note that the rankings include multiple registrar accreditations within families of registrars. You can see the list at the end of this post.
I didn’t run this report last month, so the number in parenthesis is a comparison to registrations in June.
