Numbers : the .AUTOS new gTLD

The .AUTOS new gTLD: from 82,000 domains in January 2025 to 205,000 in August 2025.

New domain name registration volumes

New gTLD reports are monthly domain name registration volumes' captures according to specific groups, businesses or industries.

On the last day of each month, we take a snapshot of these numbers so one can see if they increase or decrease for a month to the other.

This method is a good way to see if these domain names meet with adoption...or not.

New gTLD reports: that's 12 months!

This is the last new gTLD report from 2023, for a total of 12 reports covering domain name registration volumes' captures according to specific groups, businesses or industries. These 12 new gTLD reports give an idea of how successful registries have been in 2023.

Of course, I keep hearing that "volumes don't matter" but come on: with no volumes, a Top-Level Domain just does not exist. Also: who would invest in a new gTLD project with that idea in mind? 

Check all reports from 2023 at www.gtld.report and a happy new year to you!

Did you read the .COMPANY new gTLD report?

The .COMPANY new gTLD report is pretty interesting this week. On the list of domain name extensions that we think companies should register their domain name (we included legacy TLDs in that list by the way), more of them are in the red: it means that they have less registrations than the week before. It is pretty hard not to see the progression of the .GDN new gTLD which passes from 83,264 domain names last week to 114,264 this week. We suggest readers to compare with last week.
