gTLD parking and monetisation

Which gTLDs domains sit on platforms that exist to park or monetise them, derived from the zone files themselves. For nameserver providers generally — registrar DNS, managed DNS, CDNs and hosts — see DNS providers.

Parking figures are a lower bound. A domain is counted as parked only when its nameservers belong to a known parking or monetisation platform. A domain parked on its registrar's ordinary nameservers is indistinguishable from one that is genuinely hosted, so the real proportion is higher than shown. No domain is resolved or fetched to produce this — it comes from NS records alone. Methodology.

All nameserver providers

DNS providers ›

Parking platforms are one kind of nameserver provider. The full breakdown — registrar DNS, managed DNS, CDNs and hosting — is on the DNS providers page.

Data currency. Domain counts on this page are from zone files dated 17 September 2026 and refresh daily. Registrar figures are from ICANN's monthly registry reports for May 2026, which ICANN publishes about three months in arrears; zone files contain no registrar information, so no fresher source exists.
