2. Top 5 TLDs by Volume of Newly Registered Domains
a) .com Newly Registered Domains
The .com TLD remains the market leader with 116,981 newly registered domains recorded on September 27, 2025. These registrations occurred over September 25-27, 2025.
The top registrars for .com domains were:
- Godaddy: 21,435 domains (18.3%)
- Namecheap: 13,167 domains (11.3%)
- Unstoppabledomains: 9,029 domains (7.7%)
- Squarespace: 6,155 domains (5.3%)
- Openprovider: 5,637 domains (4.8%)
It’s noteworthy that “Others” – comprising numerous smaller registrars – collectively registered 43,646 domains, representing 37.3% of all .com registrations. This indicates that while major players like GoDaddy and Namecheap maintain significant market share, the .com registration market remains fairly distributed among a diverse group of registrars.
b) .xyz Newly Registered Domains
The .xyz TLD secured the second position with 88,851 newly registered domains on September 27, 2025. These registrations were completed over the period of September 25-27, 2025.
The top registrars for .xyz domains were:
- GMO Internet: 82,122 domains (92.4%)
- Godaddy: 2,441 domains (2.7%)
- Namecheap: 1,016 domains (1.1%)
- Dynadot: 860 domains (1.0%)
- Namesilo: 382 domains (0.4%)
The distribution of .xyz domain registrations is remarkably concentrated, with GMO Internet dominating the market with over 92% of all new .xyz registrations. This represents a significant monopoly in the .xyz TLD space, with all other registrars collectively accounting for only about 7.6% of new registrations.
c) .top Newly Registered Domains
The .top TLD ranked third with 12,264 newly registered domains on September 27, 2025. These domains were registered between September 25-27, 2025.
The top registrars for .top domains were:
- Namesilo: 2,686 domains (21.9%)
- godaddy.com: 2,007 domains (16.4%)
- WDomain: 1,797 domains (14.7%)
- Gname: 1,270 domains (10.4%)
- Dynadot: 1,034 domains (8.4%)
The .top TLD shows a more balanced distribution among registrars compared to .xyz. While Namesilo leads with 21.9% market share, no single registrar dominates the space. The “Others” category accounts for 28.3% of registrations, indicating a healthy diversity of registrars participating in .top domain registrations.
d) .org Newly Registered Domains
The .org TLD recorded 7,357 newly registered domains on September 27, 2025. These registrations took place over the period from September 25-27, 2025.
The top registrars for .org domains were:
- Godaddy: 1,245 domains (16.9%)
- Namecheap: 1,145 domains (15.6%)
- Dynadot: 1,112 domains (15.1%)
- Squarespace: 632 domains (8.6%)
- Cloudflare: 409 domains (5.6%)
The .org TLD registration market shows a relatively even distribution among the top three registrars – Godaddy, Namecheap, and Dynadot – who together account for 47.6% of all new .org registrations. The remaining registrations are broadly distributed, with “Others” comprising 38.2% of the market, indicating a diverse and competitive landscape for .org domain registrations.
e) .net Newly Registered Domains
The .net TLD completed the top five with 6,402 newly registered domains on September 27, 2025. These domains were registered over September 25-26, 2025.

- Namecheap: 794 domains (12.4%)
- Squarespace: 590 domains (9.2%)
- Wix: 231 domains (3.6%)
- Dynadot: 215 domains (3.4%)
For .net domains, Godaddy maintains a strong lead with 21.8% of new registrations, followed by Namecheap and Squarespace.
