Names on the books at the end of each year since general availability, from the registry's monthly reports to ICANN, through May 2026. The marked point is the zone count of 24 Oct 2026, a different count taken on one night.

In its first year, to October 2015, 17 registrars held 10 or more .capetown names and the largest held 44%; by its eleventh, to October 2025, 15 did and the largest held 47%.

Year 1 starts at general availability and each year is labelled by the month it ends. Registrars with 10 or more names and the largest registrar's share are read at that month. A year with fewer than nine monthly reports is left blank.

Tucows Domains Inc. held 50.1% of .capetown names in May 2026; the largest five together held 88.4%.

Shares add to 100%. From the registry's report for May 2026.

Cross-checkThe registry reported 3,616 names for Jun 2026; the zone on Oct 24, 2026 held 96 fewer. The two are counted differently and 4 months apart: a registered name that is not delegated never appears in the zone, and a zone file is read on one night, a report at a month's end.

Counted from the registry’s own zone file on the night of Oct 24, 2026. A zone count is not domains under management: a registered name that is not delegated never appears in the zone, and a name on hold leaves the zone while it stays registered. The two numbers will not agree, and neither is wrong.

Names under management at month end, as the registry reported it. Reported to ICANN monthly. Sunrise Jul 2014 to Oct 2014; general registration Nov 2014.
