And lost in .Com? — Who won

A look at how registrars fared in the most recent public note.

ICANN published the latest official .com transactions note from Verisign, which includes data by registrar for June 2017. There was no change to the order of the top registrars for fresh registrations but there were some changes in domain transfers, counting a registrar from Czech Republic making an appearance.

Here are the top registrars in terms of fresh .com registrations for June. There were no changes in the top five order from the prior month.

1. GoDaddy* 879,470
2. Tucows** 186,570
3. HiChina 169,012
4. PublicDomainRegistry 135,027
5. Namecheap 111,907

When it comes to net inbound transfers for registrars open to the public (transfer gains minus transfer losses), Subreg.cz popped up on the list. This is probably a one-time blip.

1. HiChina +19,421
2. MAFF Inc (XZ.com) +8,674
3. subreg.cz +8,247
4. GoDaddy +6,540
5. NameSilo +6,521

On the flip side, these five registrars saw the biggest net outflow of .com domain names due to transfers:

1. Web.com*** -7,381
2. HebeiDomains.com -7,286
3. Domain.com -6,836
4. Fabulous -4,834
5. Tucows -4,480

HebeiDomains appears to be a reseller platform.
