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 2003 "State of the Domain" newsletter (available from Snapnames) and reflects August 2003 registrar market share across all COM registrations.
Registrars are sorted by SOTD .COM market share, in descending order. VeriSign Digital Brand Management Services registrations are reported both in VeriSign registration counts and in a separate entry immediately below, providing additional information about product lines offered by this registrar. (Additional details.) Consistent with State of the Domain analysis, registrars acquired by VeriSign are grouped in VeriSign market share analysis.

Certain registrar names, as reported by Verisign GRS WHOIS and by PIR .ORG 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.
