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: ZDNS International Limited
Technical backend: CentralNic (Team Internet) via rdap host
Delegated: 19 Feb 2015
Nameservers: a.nic.fans, b.nic.fans, c.nic.fans, d.nic.fans
RDAP: https://rdap.centralnic.com/fans
Zone data: CZDS access approved — counted daily

Of the 38,065 domains that came up for renewal between Jun 2025 and May 2026, the share renewed rather than deleted. How this is computed.

For comparison, the median new gTLD keeps 68.45% and .com, .net and .org together keep 73.23%. One caveat specific to this TLD: 1 filing in this window reports up to 30,403 renewals or deletions against a peak of 9,911 domains, which is not possible. The figure above is as filed; setting those months aside gives 62.38%.

9,911 attributed to registrars in May 2026, against 9,381 in 19 Sep 2026’s zone — the zone is 530 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.
