Registration Counts by Category and Registrar
Alternative Perspectives on Registrar Market Share

The table below gives the number of domains of each category registered to each registrar. The "Overall" column of data comes from the Q1 2002 "State of the Domain" newsletter (available from Snapnames) and reflects March 2002 registrar market share across all COM, NET, and ORG registrations. For brevity, I have omitted certain registrars with no Fortune or Forbes registrations and with at most a 0.05% share of both categories of Yahoo-listed domains.

Certain registrar names, as reported by Verisign GRS WHOIS, could not be matched with the names used by SOTD's reporting of registrar market share. For those registrars, an empty space is listed in the market share column.
