new gtlds New G's outpace .com/net and ccTLDs in New Regs.

[168]

Using Verisign data over the last 3 years New "G"s registered 27.6m domains.

In the same time cctlds registered 19.2m domains plus 8 country extensions.

com/net only added 15m registrations.

"Other" domain registrations which include domains "that are in a client or server hold status" (that can't be registered by someone else)
remains flat at 19m.

Average number of Total domains registered each year 19.5m

New "G"s are on track to sweep nearly 50% of 2017 new registrations, cctld's 30% ,and com/net only 20%

Which category do you think will capture this year's pie and why? Numbers don't lie

I think dump will be the most successful category. We had 3 years of pump already.

...regardless of the extension, many people are enamored with one word keywords and will buy them much cheaper than .com, etc...

Categories are : com/net, cctlds, New G's

Don't be adding categories

IMHO new registrations are misleading on their own, perhaps they should release how much of those new registrations were retained? I am dead sure, retention rate of com and cctlds would be a lot better than GTLDS, people do register them but drop them when they face the shock.

Numbers don't lie

So 1 extension - 127 million and growing

vs.

hundreds of extensions - 28 million and will probably shrink this year

You're right, numbers don't lie.

Just ran numbers based on this year. New gtlds on pace to pick up 4.7 million new regs this year. But how many will drop? .xyz went up over 3 million on that penny promotion. Others already starting to drop. .xyz dropping, .top dropping, .win dropping, .club dropping ....... Good chance overall numbers go down this year.

1. If you actually read the title the comparisons are com and net v New G's
2. New "G"s out paced .com regs in 2016 by more than 3x.
3. More than 13 million domains would have to drop before the number of new regs would equal .com/net tiny gain of 3m
Not likely.
Average for all domains reg. per year is 20 million.
com/net only has the "capacity" to generate 3-5 million
Just where will the balance, 15 million go ?
Not to com/net.
New "G"s have impacted com/net regs on average 9+million regs per year
Based on your number where ever that came from, New "G"s can suffer a 50% drop in regs and still outpace com/net.
