Cross-checkThe registry reported 169,209,254 domains under management for May 2026 — −1,690,666 against last night’s zone. Undelegated and on-hold names never reach the zone, so the two will not agree, and neither is wrong.

How we classify
A name takes the row its nameservers match on our provider list. Verification nameservers sit beside a name’s other nameservers, so they overlap the rows above: 0.7%. List 2026.09.7+psl4b673689.

Counted from the registry’s own zone file on the night of Oct 13, 2026. A zone count is not domains under management: a registered name that is not delegated never appears in the zone, and a name on hold leaves the zone while it stays registered. The two numbers will not agree, and neither is wrong. Nights we did not capture break the line; a point marked “2-day span” covers more than one night.

Aug 2026: 165,199,479 — third-party estimate; the registry has not published that month yet.

how many names
