Year by year since launch, as the registry reported it

In its first year, to April 2026, 13 registrars held 10 or more .hot names and the largest held 35%.

  1. 1 · to Apr 20261,0311335%

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.

2026 strings our model compared with it

When we scored the 2026 round, our model listed .hot among the closest 2012-round TLDs for 12 applied-for strings. No applicant made these comparisons; strong and moderate are how close it judged each match.

Cross-checkThe registry reported 2 names for Oct 2024; the zone on Oct 24, 2026 held 1,124 more. The two are counted differently and 24 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.

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: 0.5%. List 2026.09.7+psl4b673689.

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.
