How many registrations will fresh TLDs get?

Most people think low five figures.

We’re starting to get an idea of how many registrations fresh top level domain names can expect to get in the short term now that dozens have launched.

This year’s Reglike survey asked “On average, how many second level registrations do you expect each fresh TLD to have one year following general availability for the domain starts?”

The median response to this question was 12,000 and the average was 41,054.

The average is higher due to a handful of really high responses.

Neither of these numbers seems that far off base. Many domains will be measured in the tens of thousands, some will be in just the thousands, and we’ll probably have some that eclipse the 100k mark.

As of right now, the top fresh top level domain name is .club with over 60,000 registrations. 8 fresh domain names have more than 20,000 registrations and regarding 20 top the 10,000 mark.
