Uniregistry and China continue to show good transfer results.
ICANN has published Verisign’s registrar data for .com from August. As I do every month, I crunched the numbers to see which registrars performed best.
Keep in mind that these reports are published after a three-month delay. So this post is about August’s results.
Let’s start by reviewing which registrars added the most new .com domain name registrations:
1. GoDaddy* 891,979
2. eNom** 213,291
3. HiChina 146,490
4. PublicDomainRegistry 132,125
5. Tucows 111,169
When it comes to registrars that won the transfer game, here are the top five registrars for August that have retail operations. These numbers are the net gains after taking into consideration transfers-out:
1. Key-Systems +10,406
2. Uniregistry +6,525
3. HiChina +6,295
4. Google +6,004
5. NameSilo +4,974
Here are the registrars that lost the most to transfers, offset by the number of inbound transfers:
1. MelbourneIT -11,642
2. Network Solutions -9,275
3. Tucows -8,749
4. Fabulous -6,353
5. Domain.com -5,249
*Includes GoDaddy and Wild West Domains **Includes eNom and Name.com, but not dropcatching registrars.
