ccTLDs
finished 1Q-2025 with 142.9 million
registrations, 3.4 million more than a year
ago, representing a 2.4% increase YOY. New
gTLDs enjoyed the largest jump but, being newer,
they are working from a much smaller user base than
the .coms and ccTLDs. Still, by adding 4.5
million domains, the new Gs reached 37.8
million domains at the end of 1Q-2025, giving
them a solid 13.5% increase year over year. 

For
legacy gTLDs not including .com and .net
(a group that includes older TLDs that were released
prior to the beginning of ICANN’s new gTLD program
in 2012), registrations stood at 17.9 million
at the end of the latest quarter. .Org alone
accounted for 11.1 million of those –
representing over 60% of the category. As a
group, this sub-set of legacy TLDs gained about
850,000 domains year over year – a 5%
increase.
