Read from each name’s nameservers on the night shown. Listed and parked are counted separately.

How we classify
A name takes the row its nameservers match on our provider list. Verification nameservers sit beside a name’s other nameservers, so they overlap the rows above: 0.6%. List 2026.09.2+psl4b673689.

Counted from the registry’s own zone file on the night of Sep 20, 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.

how many names
