Chinese Are 9 of Top 10 Biggest Registrants of New gTLD’s; Top 10 Own Over 10% Of All New gTLD’s

April 9, 2017 by Michael Berkens

I was looking at ntldstats.com checking out the top registrants of new gTLD’s and of the top 10 biggest registrants of new gTLD’s 9 are from China.

Moreover the top 10 registrants account for over 3.2 million registrations of new gTLD’s.

According to ntldstats.com there are 29,194,819 new gTLD’s registered, meaning that the top 10 largest new gTLD domain owners account for just over 11% of all new gTLD registrations.

The largest holder of new gTLD’s owns almost 2.5% of all new gTLD’s and the top 4 largest account for 7.24%.

In general almost 48% of all new gTLD’s are owned by people from China while 23% of owners use a privacy service.

Registrants from The United States owns 10.5% of all new gTLD’s

The next highest country in terms of owners of new gTLD’s is Germany but the percentage drops way down to just over 2%.

There are 3,118,706 domains listed as upcoming delete so those percentages may change in the near future as well as the top 10 list.

    When they cut their losses end of this year and rush into the .com safety the second wave will start. Get ready for sharp price increases in 3L and 4Ls

    Michael this tells me one thing. The value of both .com and .cn just went up in China.

    The Chinese gTLDs are very different in nature and usage to the rest of the world gTLDs. It is not a good thing to group all new gTLDs as a single entity as it leads to incorrect conclusions. Most of these Chinese registrations are heavily discounted and will not renew.

    I get the feeling they mostly don’t know what they are doing. When they get burnt on ntlds I doubt they are going to be buying .com’s, they’ll probably just stayed burnt.

      A lot of heavily discounted Chinese registrations seem to end up not being used for websites or, where they are used, with gambling affiliate lander pages. Web usage and development in these Chinese dominated gTLDs is an issue at the moment and the patterns don’t seem to follow typical gTLD usage patterns. Economically, the full registration fee gTLDs haven’t seen as much Chinese interest as the heavily discounted gTLDs so there is definitely an economic difference between usage patterns. During the CHIPs bubble, a lot of commentators were expecting that things would be different for this bubble and that registrants were in for the long haul. It wasn’t and they weren’t. Chinese registration patterns in the new gTLDs, and also in the legacy gTLDs are more volatile than rest of world registration patterns. There are Chinese .COM registrations and they have similarities to Chinese new gTLD registration patterns.

    The harder questions to answer would be:

    Are Chinese registration numbers higher than we’d expect given China’s size and domain habits? And by how much?

    What is the stable long-term registration footprint for China?
