Do people keep it?
all renewal rates ›Source: ICANN monthly registry reports
Of the 9,829 domains that came up for renewal between Aug 2025 and Jul 2026, the share renewed rather than deleted. How this is computed.
For comparison, the median gTLD keeps 67.93% and .com, .net and .org together keep 73.18%. One caveat specific to this TLD: 1 filing in this window reports up to 9,306 renewals or deletions against a peak of 604 domains, which is not possible. The figure above is as filed; setting those months aside gives too few decisions to measure.

604 attributed to registrars in Jul 2026, against 543 in 10 Nov 2026’s zone — the zone is 61 smaller. The two are months apart, and a registry's own count also includes registrations that are not delegated in the zone. Why there are two clocks.

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.
