.ceo TLD stats

• Run by XYZ Registry
• Sold most by Dynadot, LLC, 23.8% in April 2025
• Our model compares it with 6 strings in the 2026 round

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 certificate count of 23 Oct 2026, a floor under the registry's figure.

In its first year, to February 2015, 25 registrars held 10 or more .ceo names and the largest held 33%; by its twelfth, to February 2026, 43 did and the largest held 21%.

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.

Dynadot, LLC held 23.8% of .ceo names in April 2025; the largest five together held 74.0%.

Shares add to 100%. From the registry's report for April 2025.

Cross-checkThe registry reported 8,456 names for Apr 2025; by Oct 23, 2026 certificates had shown us 2,755 of them, 32.6%. A floor, not a count: a name that never appears in a certificate is not here, and one that does is counted only once DNS confirms it.

Names seen in certificate transparency logs and confirmed in DNS, as of Oct 23, 2026. A floor, not a count of the TLD: a name that never appears in a certificate is not here, and we hold no zone file for .ceo. The registry’s own figure is the count; this one says how much of it we can see name by name.
