TLDS
(standard registrations only) came in at 18%,
slightly less than the 20% rate posted in
2020 and 21% in 2021 (both years that benefited
from a Covid generated boom in online activity). However,
Radix was able to document growth rates for their
top TLDs that easily outperformed the overall
market numbers.
As
shown in the graph above, highlighting Radix's
standing among the top ten new gTLDs in terms
of actual first-time renewal numbers,
Radix claimed four of the top ten (.online, .store,
.site and .tech) with those accounting
for 36% of the renewals among the top tier of
new gTLDs.
Radix
also showed a 45% increase in their
first-time renewals from 2020 to 2022 and, as
shown in the graph they below, they wound up
booking nearly half a million total
first-time renewals in 2022, compared to 350,000
in 2020. As indicated in the data below, .Store
enjoyed the biggest boom, soaring 92% in
absolute first-time renewals in 2022 compared to
2020. .Online and .Site also impress
with first-time renewal numbers jumping over 40%
in the same period.
In
terms of dollar value for top ten ranked
first time new gTD renewals in 2022 (broken down in
the graph below), Radix said
that .Online and .Store ranked #1 and
#2 with over $4.5 million and $3.2 million
respectively (excluding registrar markup). Again, as
noted above, These revenue figures take into account
only first time renewals from standard
registrations and exclude premium renewal
revenue.
The
graph below illustrates the 2022 first-time
renewal revenue split among the top 10 nTLDs. It
shows .Online
accounting for 24% of the total renewal
revenue, and cumulatively,
four Radix TLDs generated approximately 57%
of the total renewal revenue for the top ten.
Radix,
whose full roster of TLDs includes .ONLINE, .STORE,
.TECH, .WEBSITE, .SPACE, .PRESS, .SITE, .HOST, .FUN
and .UNO, also provided these details about the
study.
Methodology:
This
analysis of renewal data was conducted by Radix
using publicly available domains data and applying
standard renewal costs across registrars, assuming
the margin across TLDs to be more or less the same.
All data points exclude registrations and renewals
from China. The data is solely based on standard
registration renewals and exclude premium renewals.
Disclaimers:
This
data report has been prepared using publicly
available data sources, along with internal tools
and methodologies developed by Radix. While we have
made every effort to ensure the accuracy and
reliability of the information presented, the data
and estimates provided may be impacted by
limitations in the available data, with an error
rate of ~2% to 3%
