new gtlds GoDaddy may be the world’s largest domain registrar but not for New gTLD’s

[Arpit131]

Godaddy.com, which is the world’s largest domain name registrar (having the most domain names under management) is no longer the number 1 domain name registrar for new gTLD domains.

A China based domain registrar, Chengdu West Dimension Digital Technology Co., Ltd. whose website is West.cn has passed Godaddy when it comes to domain name registrars for new gTLD domain names.

Chengdu West has over 1,070,000 new gTLD’s domain names registered through representing 11.83% of all new gTLD registrations while Godaddy has over 953,000 new gTLD registered through it representing 10.56% of all new registered gTLD’s.

.top plays a important role in West.cn beating Godaday on ngtlds registrations.
22000 .top were registered yesterday alone.
It's reflect the popularity of .top in China domain market.

But how many will be renewed and how many will be dropped without ever having being developed? I've run across west.cn in the monthly web usage surveys and their new gTLD registrations/websites have a lot of redirects to other sites.

.xyz registry faced the same problem last year, they present many .xyz domain name for free and also have a low reg fee. but the situation of renewed and dropped is not that worse.
ASAIK .top registry never present domain names and the reg fee is higher than .xyz, so IMP, the situation will be better.
But it is an undeniable fact that many .top will be dropped, same things would happen on other domain extentions.
