Domain report — July 2026

Registered-domain trends across gTLDs and ccTLDs in July 2026, from primary registry data.

Domain report — July 2026

The big picture

Across every TLD World Domain Stats follows, registrations stood at 373,132,443 as of July 2026, up +5.3% year-over-year. That's 256,630,837 across gTLDs (+6.8%) plus 116,501,606 across the country-code TLDs we track (+2.0%).

Fastest growth

.beer led the gainers at +487.8% year-over-year, reaching 114,177 domains, followed by .bond (+347.1%) and .forum. Fast-growing endings like these are usually new-gTLD promotions or a burst of low-cost registrations — worth watching whether the base holds after renewal season.

Notable declines

On the other side, .today fell -58.2% year-over-year to 218,857. Sustained declines in a gTLD typically reflect non-renewal of speculative registrations rather than any single event.

Biggest movers by volume

In raw numbers, .com added the most over the year — +5,296,805 to 167,307,358, while .us shed the most (−547,817). Percentage leaders grab headlines, but absolute change is where the volume — and the money — actually moves.

New arrivals

4 TLDs filed their first data this month, led by .ca (3,610,077).
