Top 10 registrars for .com — Cloudflare enters

A look at the top 10 .com registrars for both fresh monthly registrations and total domains under management.

The words

ICANN has published the latest data from Verisign (NASDAQ: VRSN) covering the .com namespace. The data covers August 2025.

Here are some takeaways from this month’s data:

- Cloudflare entered the monthly top 10 list for the first time.
- TurnCommerce (DropCatch) increased its year-over-year registrations significantly for the second month in a row. It might be returning to buy mode, or it might have a client ramping up.

Below is a chart showing the performance of the largest registrars in terms of fresh registrations in August 2025, which are the latest available numbers.
