GoDaddy, Namecheap, Squarespace and more: .Com rankings
Top four registrars had month-over-month declines in .com registrations.
ICANN has published the latest registrar-by-registrar data for the .com namespace using official data Verisign provides to ICANN. The data is always three months in arrears; the newest data provided is for April 2026.
Some observations for the latest numbers:
-
- Verisign had a great second quarter, so it’s interesting that the top four registrars all showed declines from March for fresh registrations.
- Following surging to nearly 200k registrations in March, GMO didn’t make the top 15 for fresh registrations in April.
- TurnCommerce, which owns DropCatch, topped 100k domains for the first time since September 2025.
- Cloudflare’s trajectory is consistent as it registered close to 200k domains in April. It’s the 13th largest .com registrar and rising.
