According to Verisign’s zone file the number of .Com domain name registrations have topped 115 million, an all time high.
As we have written the new gTLD program does not seem to be effecting the number of .Com registrations.
Back just 7 weeks ago on September 19, we posted that the number of .com registrations had crossed the 114.6 million domain mark.
Today in crossing the 115 million mark, .com added over 600,000 domain name registrations in just 7 weeks.
As of March 31, 2014 Verisign reported there were 113.2 million registered .com domains.
So .com has added 1.8 million domain names during the time the new gTLD program rolled out.
As of today according to ntldstats.com there are 3,116,119 new gTLD domain names registered, but probably less than 2 Million are paid for registrations by third parties, backing out all of the free domain names, domain name registered or reserved by the registries or people affiliated to the registries.
All of this means that .com is growing at about the same rate as all paid registrations of the new gTLD’s combined since March 31.
