One of the two new sites that server up new gTLD stats, NameStat.org has made some changes to its ranking system for new gTLD registration.
The service has dropped all free .XYZ domain names given out by Network Solutions (actually all Network Solution .XYZ registrations) and all Domain Names registered by Frank Schilling’s North Sound Names in extensions owned by Frank Schilling’s Uniregistry in computing its Best Selling gTLD list.
NameStat.org is now showing .XYZ with just under 15,000 registrations dropping it from the top 10.
ntldstats.com shows .XYZ being the most registered string with now over 104,000 registrations, almost 85% or over 88K coming from Network Solutions
According to NameStat.org, .XYZ is sitting at number 14 on the list of most registered new gTLD’s with just under 15,000 registrations
Likewise NameStat.org has removed all domain registrations made by North Sound Names for Uniregistry strings .Link, .Sexy and .Tattoo
According to NameStat.org Best Selling gTLD list, .Link is now 33rd on the list with 7,676 registrations while .Sexy is number 28 with 8,503 registrations and .Tattoo is now where to be found in the top 50 which is at the moment which is the biggest list that NameStat.org currently offers
According to ntldstats.com, .link is number 8 with over 32,000 registrations and .Sexy is number 18 with over 14,000 registrations and .Tattoo is number 39 with almost 6,300 registrations
With the removal of .XYZ Network Solutions registrations on NameStat.org., Club is back on top with over 68,000 registrations, with .Guru, .Berlin .Photography and the IDS China Online rounds out the top 5.
However NameStat.org has not removed the Network Solutions or the domain registrations from North Sound Names from the total amount of new gTLD registered, which they have at, 1,036,530 while ntldstats.com has the total number of new gTLD registrations at 1,050,605 (difference in timing of the last update and how Zone files are pulled)

I had forgotten which .crap names Frank is selling.
GREAT!
May danny boy and XYZ “as Rick says” DIE ON THE VINE
xyzSUCKS.xyz
Hope he and it burns,
see his opening video what a numb-shull FOOL!
he and netsol are total stats RIGGERs “NET SOL” MUST BE NUTS TO PLAY
the xy z ero game.
p.s I was burned by them and can prove PAGE ended up with the domain
that I bought many hours before his “who is” shows it was registered
Hopefully nothing to do with his doings
.xyz means nothing, stands for nothing, and now will always be measured against this count rigging drama.
End users don’t care about stat numbers as much as domainers. Domainers aren’t fooled, so it’s just whimsical registrations. Right now there is more supply than demand, if it comes back to get filled we will see. Otherwise if you want for $500 to $1500 you can get a pretty good .com domain from one of the warehouse companies.
Now is the perfect time to build a business on a good ..com name. While everyone is busy dabbling in new gtld’s, there are lots of great opportunities. Good luck to all.
It’s going to be a constant battle to weed out the bogus numbers from the registration counts.
But at least the most egregious distortions can be removed, which allows for something more like an apples-to-apples comparison.
And it’s good to see that scheming by .XYZ and Network Solutions will not be rewarded by disproportionate exposure in the charts.
