Reglike’s monthly .Com Winners & Losers based on the latest official data.
ICANN has published the latest .com transactions note from registry Verisign, showing official results from May.
Here are the top 5 registrars in May in terms of fresh .com registrations:
1. GoDaddy* 872,473
2. Rightside** 209,994
3. HiChina 174,424

2. Uniregistry +12,360
3. EIMS.cn +10,315
4. Google +9,049
5. NameSilo +5,747
EIMS.cn is a fresh entrant. It appears to be focused on IOT. I left MAFF Inc of the list since it seems to be a private registrar. [Update: MAFF is operating as XZ.com. It was +7,363 on transfers.]
On the flip side, these five registrars saw the biggest net outflow of .com domain names due to transfers:
1. Web.com*** -20,131

5. Moniker -4,887
