Registrar figures are for May 2026. ICANN publishes monthly registry reports about three months in arrears, and they are the only source that attributes domains to registrars — zone files do not contain registrar information. Methodology.

Registry details

From the IANA Root Zone Database and RDAP bootstrap.

Registry operator: dot Date Limited
Technical backend: ARI Registry Services (GoDaddy Registry) via ns ptr
Delegated: 25 Mar 2015
Nameservers: a.nic.date, b.nic.date, c.nic.date, ns1.dns.nic.date, ns2.dns.nic.date, ns3.dns.nic.date
RDAP: https://rdap.nic.date
Zone data: CZDS access approved — counted daily

11,916 attributed to registrars in May 2026, against 10,021 in 19 Sep 2026’s zone — the zone is 1,895 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 19 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. Full detail on methodology and live pipeline status.
