[Lox]

Statistics and trends in domain name registrations of European country-code domains and the wider global market. Report created quarterly by the Council of European National Top-Level Domain Registries (CENTR). Edition Q2 2021

Highlights

• There are an estimated 116 million registered domains across CENTR member countries in Europe1 of which 69 million are ccTLDs (+2% YOY), 35 million .com domains (+5% YOY) and 13 million representing all other gTLDs (+12% YOY).
• The median growth of European ccTLDs at July 2021 was 3.6% YOY, down from a high of 4.9% in the first quarter.
• Demand in new domain purchases fell sharply in Q2 while rates of expirations/deletions remained generally stable.
• The median buy price of a ccTLD domain advertised to the public is 10.8 EUR2. Buy prices have been stable for at least the past few quarters, however a downward price trend is emerging in promotions of .com.
• 27% of ccTLD domains queried are broken or have no functioning content (e.g. HTTP/DNS errors, timeouts etc). A further 27% lead to parked, abandoned, blocked or other low content pages. This leaves 46% which are considered normal functioning websites.
