It's no surprise .com is still far and away the most registered top-level domain (TLD) in 2018, but this year Namecheap saw more non .com registrations than ever before. There has been a surge in popularity among some newer generic top-level domains (gTLD) like .club, .space, .online and .app as Namecheap's large customer base of web and technology professionals, business owners and entrepreneurs are launching more active domains utilizing these newer extensions.
The 2018 Namecheap Domain Insights and Trends Report also includes:
- The Most Registered TLDs of the Decade;
- Most Popular TLDs By Category (Technology, Lifestyle, Finance, Sports, Travel, Food & Beverage, Real Estate, Multi-Media and more);
