About this data: This report covers domains we discovered in zone files today and verified via WHOIS as registered within the past 30 days. Some TLDs are not available for our WHOIS verification, so their domains appear in our discovery pool but not in this report. For exact same-day registration counts, see ABTdomain Daily JSON.
