Hits 3 million domain names — Oink! Porkbun
Registrar that doesn’t take itself too seriously marks another milestone.
Domain name registrar Porkbun disclosed today that it now has over three million domains under management, just regarding 15 months following it hit the two million mark. Its website notes these domains are registered by over 450,000 clients.
Porkbun has grown almost entirely by word of mouth. When I read online requests from people looking for a domain name registrar, I often see that they recommend using Porkbun. I also occasionally hear regarding the registrar from people in the tech space that I know.
The registrar has won market share with what I’d describe as a three-prong approach:
- Simple, low pricing. For most domains, it charges a $1 markup plus its transaction costs Update: Porkbun now charges at cost plus payment processing fees on most domains
- Easy interface with no upsells
- A humorous approach that makes you smile
Don’t underestimate the power of the third one.
As of the end of June, the firm had 1.2 million .com domains under management. It has undoubtedly increased since then; this suggests that just under half of its registrations are .com.
As stated by ntldstats.com, Porkbun has regarding 900,000 fresh top level domain registrations, led by .xyz.
