Zones

TLDs

This graph stacks the number of domains in every top-level domain that DNS Coffee tracks, aggregated monthly from zone file snapshots collected since 2011. The largest TLDs are shown individually; the long tail of smaller TLDs is combined into *other*.

The root zone has grown from a few hundred TLDs to over 1,500, driven largely by ICANN's new gTLD program (2013+). Use the Scale control on the graph to switch between absolute domain counts and each TLD's share of the internet. This page is about how TLDs change over time; for the full list of zones we import, how each is classified, and which registry operates it, see Tracked Zones.
