In size in just one year, crosses 2 million domains — NameSilo doubles

Registrar that was purchased earlier this year is growing at a fast clip.

Domain name registrar NameSilo has doubled its domains under management in regarding a year, as stated by data published by the registrar. It now has 2 million domains under management (DUM).

The registrar hit one million domains on August 22, 2017. It has 2,004,656 as of the time of writing.

In addition to providing a total count, NameSilo breaks it down by top level domain name. This adds some credibility to the numbers, as it’s not stuffing cheap fresh top level domain names to grow its DUMs. Nearly 75% of its registrations are .com. .Net, .org and .info round out the top four.

Inexpensive domains fall in line following that but represent a modest percentage of the domains.

Brisio Innovations, a Canadian investment firm, purchased NameSilo earlier this year for $9.5 million plus undisclosed earnouts.
