A new site (or at least new to me) is showing the most detailed stats I have seen for new gTLD’s.
According to ntldstats.com, there are a total of 215,638 new gTLD domain registrations as of 16:30 (time zone not defined) on March 6th.
According to the site, Godaddy registered almost 87,000 of the 215,000 new gTLD’s giving it a 40% market share.
1and1.com which spent a reported $50 million dollars on a advertising campaign to promote the new gTLD’s is in 4th place with some 12,388 registrations giving them about 5.7% share of the new gTLD market and putting them in 4th place.
Interesting neither NetworkSolutions.com nor Register.com, which are both top 5 domain name registrars are in the top 10.
As a side note NameCheap.com numbers are included in Enom.com numbers.
Here are the top 20 domain name registrars by number of new gTLD domain registrations:

1&1 results after spending too much are really disappointing. Someone may loose his job if the numbers dont improve in near future. $50 million is big spend.
Andrew Allemann says
Nice find, Michael.
The number for Mark Monitor seem really low, don’t they? I wonder if it’s because a lot of the domains they’re registering for clients don’t have nameservers.
DomainInvestor says
Thanks MHB, great link.
Numbers Don’t Lie, People Do!
Raymond Hackney says
Its a new site it was registered today.

1&1 has the worst customer service alive and apparently their marketing department is just as good.

I remember those early articles about “4 million pre-reservations” at 1and1.com — now we see the real numbers.
Domo Sapiens says
“there are a total of 215,638 new gTLD domain registrations”
let’s round numbers and make that 300,000…
And since nowadays “context” is king, let’s put things into context and give numbers some perspective:
There is as of yesterday :
5.7 Million (5,700,000) Dot Info registrations
2.6 Million Dot Biz registrations
1.8 Million Dot US registrations
1 Million Dot Mobi registrations….
Just those 4 extensions account for over *** 10,000,000 ***(Ten Million) domain registrations, that figure doesn’t include another dozen or so extension such as Dot TV.
In addition registrations for some of the early runners is starting to crawl to halt (I noticed that yesterday a couple of the favorites had in one case less than 200 registrations while another less then 30 ‘thirty’ ) this as investments appear to either slow down/drain out/dry out or they might as well be sitting in the sidelines waiting for greener pastures…
Draw your own conclusions.
Furthermore bloggers and promoters alike are highly touting/trumpeting new gTLD sales in the scale of
500 USD 1000USD 2000USD… while some of the great and recent 2014 Dot Com Sales are somehow being shoved under the carpet eg:
Whisky Dot Com for $3,100,000
Youxi Dot Com for $2,430,000 USD

@George Kirikos can we sue for false advertising?
todd says
Great find. I love simple easy to read stat pages.
The reason why 1 and 1 has so few numbers is simple. 1 and 1 is not a domainers registry and they spent 50 million on going after the end user. So if you look deeper into the numbers it is very easy to assume that the majority of the 1 and 1 gTLD registrations where probably by end users and that is the reason the numbers are so low.
So who is driving the new gTLDs? Domainers by probably 80-90%
1 and 1 made the mistake of burning the 50 million before the market was live. Big mistake obviously.
David Castello says
Great find, Mike, but I’m not looking at the left side of their site (Registrars). I’m looking at the right side (Registrations per name). Very revealing.
Rory Ivey says
I thought I was getting a coupon for 40% of new Gtlds at Godaddy lol smh
