Track active domain growth and daily registration volume across 1,000+ gTLDs.
Active Domains Trends
New Registrations Trends
Plot up to five extensions on the same timeline across 7-day to 180-day windows to see which gTLDs are gaining or losing momentum.
See total active domains and daily new registrations. In Compare mode, the Indexed chart (Base=100) lets extensions of very different sizes be compared by percentage growth.
Copy any chart to your clipboard, download it as a PNG for reports, or share a link to the same view on X, Facebook, LinkedIn, or Reddit.
Reading Extension Momentum Across 1,000+ gTLDs
Every domain extension follows its own cycle of launch, promotion, and renewal. A single day's snapshot does not show whether a gTLD is building steady growth or riding a short-term promotion. DomainKits charts both total active domains and daily new registrations for 1,000+ gTLDs over windows of up to 180 days, so you can see where new registrations are moving.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is TLD Trends data calculated, and what do the charts show?
TLD Trends covers 1,000+ gTLDs (ccTLDs such as .ai, .io, and .co are not included). Single mode shows two charts, and Compare mode adds a third:
- Active Domains Trend: The total number of active registered domains in the extension on each day of the selected window.
- Active Domains Trend (Indexed, Base=100): Shown in Compare mode. Each selected TLD starts at 100 on the first day of your window (7D to 180D), so a large extension like .com and a much smaller one like .app can be compared by percentage change on the same scale.
- New Registrations Trend: The daily count of new registrations, which highlights demand surges and promotional spikes. In Compare mode it is also indexed to Base=100.
How do investors and analysts read TLD trend charts to spot real market shifts?
Raw volume charts can mislead without context. Four baseline rules help separate genuine adoption from short-term noise:
- Use the Indexed Chart for Cross-Size Comparisons: In raw counts, .com's base of more than 160 million domains flattens every other extension into a line along the bottom of the chart. Switch to Compare mode and read the Indexed chart to see which extension (for example .app, .dev, .tech, or .bot) is growing fastest in percentage terms.
- Promo Spikes vs. Net Active Growth: When New Registrations shows a sharp multi-day spike in a gTLD, check the Active Domains curve over 90D or 180D. Extensions with lasting demand turn new registrations into steady active growth, while promotion-driven spikes often fade when the registrations come up for renewal.
- Compare Peer Extensions: Comparing related extensions over a 90-day or 180-day window, such as .app vs .dev vs .tech, shows which of them is gaining a larger share of new registrations.
- Drill Down from a Spike to the Domains: A trend line shows where activity is happening, not what is being registered. When you spot an unusual spike, open Newly Registered Domains and filter by that extension to see the names behind it.
Why do the latest days of new registration data look low?
The most recent one or two days in the New Registrations chart can show partial counts while that day's data is still being collected, so a sharp drop at the right edge of the chart is usually incomplete data rather than a real decline. For names registered in the last few minutes, use NRD Live Search, which is refreshed every 15 minutes.
How can I explore the domains and keywords behind a trending TLD?
Use TLD Trends as your macro view, then drill down with connected tools:
- See What Was Registered: Filter by the trending extension in New Domains (past 60 days) or Active Domains (360M+ registered domains).
- Check If Your Keyword Is Open: Run a keyword through TLD Search to see availability across 1,200+ extensions, or browse Available Short Domains for open 1 to 4-character names in 47 extensions.
- Compare with Keyword Momentum: Switch to Keyword Trends to see which keywords are being registered the most.
