Registry operators
The organisations that hold the registry agreement for each legacy gTLD, as recorded in the IANA Root Zone Database. This is the commercial operator — the company that runs the DNS may be different, and is listed under backends.
Showing parent companies.
21 operator entities fold into their owners. One
company often registers each portfolio under a separate entity — Identity Digital
operates through Binky Moon, Dog Beach and Identity Digital Limited; Radix through
two near-identically named ones. This grouping is our assertion, not IANA's.

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 May 2026, which ICANN publishes about three months in arrears; zone files contain no registrar information, so no fresher source exists.
