Exists to park or monetise domains, so domains here are a lower bound on parking: a domain parked on its registrar's ordinary nameservers cannot be distinguished from one that is hosted.

How domains are attributed here

A domain counts towards Afternic when one of its nameservers ends in one of these suffixes. Matching is on the name in the zone's NS records only — nothing is resolved or fetched.

Data currency. Domain counts on this page are from zone files dated and refresh daily. Registrar figures are from ICANN's monthly registry reports for July 2026, which ICANN publishes about three months in arrears; zone files contain no registrar information, so no fresher source exists.
