Have you wondered about the list of generic top level domains (gTLDS) or how many domain names exist in the existing top level domains? I’m always looking for lists and statistics on this information so I thought I’d share some recent TLD stats with you here:
Here are some overall numbers I acquired from ICANN as of February 2011…
- .aero 7,300
- .asia 190,000
- .biz 2,120,000
- .cat 48,000
- .com 95,000,000
- .coop 7,000
- .info 7,400,000
- .jobs 42,000
- .mobi 978,000
- .museum 449
- .name 230,000
- .net 14,000,000
- .org 9,000,000
- .pro 100,000
- .tel 300,000
- .travel 26,000
Many companies are looking for this information to help them build their business cases for new TLDs. I hope that this helps. These are official numbers from ICANN (as of February 2011).

A great find. Where does ICANN make these numbers available?
Hi Joe,
Sorry for the delay, I was on vacation last week. ICANN has a pretty cool “dashboard” now that I used. You can access it here:
