Shut down next month — RegistrarStats.com to

Old school domain data site is shutting down next month.

Donuts has disclosed that it is shutting down RegistrarStats.com on February 19, 2018. The firm purchased the site as part of its buyout of Rightside last year.

The firm states it is shutting down the service “due to dwindling interest and usage in the website service over the past a number of years.” Paying clients will receive a pro-rata refund of any subscription payments that extended beyond February 19.

RegistrarStats was once a popular site for gathering data on domain names such as registrar market share stats. Still, the site has languished in recent years under a paid model. The copyright notice hasn’t been updated since 2013.
