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 23 Oct 2026, a different count taken on one night.

In its first year, to October 2015, 12 registrars held 10 or more .durban names and the largest held 41%; by its eleventh, to October 2025, 12 did and the largest held 37%.

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 39.5% of .durban names in May 2026; the largest five together held 85.6%.

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

Cross-checkThe registry reported 1,640 names for Jun 2026; the zone on Oct 23, 2026 held 32 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 23, 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. Dashed months are third-party estimates. Sunrise Jul 2014 to Oct 2014; general registration Nov 2014.
