A public data explorer tracking domain counts, registrars, registry backends, DNSSEC adoption, and delegation history across 1,114 new generic top-level domains.

Why it surfaced

nTLD Data turns ICANN, IANA, CZDS, and root-zone records into a browsable daily view: 53.97 million domains, registrar market share, daily additions and drops, and the changing fortunes of strings such as .xyz, .top, and .shop. Its methodology is unusually candid, even explaining why incomplete historical backfill is not plotted as apparent growth.

Thirty Patents for the Grave

August 13’s newborn domains include 30 safety-coffin patents, lost notices for false teeth and a box of hair, short films playing in 100 Tokyo taxis, and a Queensland river view arranged gauge by gauge downstream.

This is one of 1,000 discoveries in the 2026-08-13 Domain Arrivals issue.
