Namecheap, one of today’s best web hosting providers and the second largest domain registrar, has revealed extensive new findings on the top TLDs of 2025.
The company’s Domain Insights and Trends 2025 report examines more than 22 million domains and, perhaps unsurprisingly, found that the .com TLD was the most popular with 4.6 million domain names registered between January 1 and December 31, 2025.
Even though the share of non-.com TLDs surpassed .com in 2024, Namecheap says the latter re-emerged in 2025 to gain 40.1% of market share, an increase of 11%, showing that although there are more TLDs than ever, .com is still the preferred choice.
Top 10 gTLDs
- .com (4,667,345)
- .info (579,916)
- .store (476,865)
- .site (469,020)
- .xyz (461,777)
- .org (452,567)
- .online (363,353)
- .store (337,407)
- .net (291,862)
- .pro (257,161)
The report also revealed some details about the domain names themselves, including that there were 147 one-letter domain names registered and 120 63-character domain names, the longest allowed.
Blockchain.ai sold for $405,000
On the Namecheap marketplace, Blockchain.ai was the most expensive product sold at the auction, second and third respectively were Territory.com with $125,625 and wan.ai with $80,314.
Trends show that while .com TLDs remain the most sought-after domains, non-.com TLDs continue to become increasingly popular, helping businesses strengthen their brand identity.
