.gdn TLD stats

• Run by Joint Stock Company "Navigation-information systems"
• Sold most by Dynadot, LLC, 77.3% in May 2025
• Our model compares it with 1 string 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 2017, 9 registrars held 10 or more .gdn names and the largest held 86%; by its tenth, to February 2026, 12 did and the largest held 60%.

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 77.3% of .gdn names in May 2025; the largest five together held 99.4%.

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

When we scored the 2026 round, our model listed .gdn among the closest 2012-round TLDs for 1 applied-for string. No applicant made these comparisons; strong and moderate are how close it judged each match.

Cross-checkThe registry reported 82,520 names for May 2025; by Oct 23, 2026 certificates had shown us 1,253 of them, 1.5%. 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 .gdn. The registry’s own figure is the count; this one says how much of it we can see name by name.
