'''nTLDStats''' offers extensive statistics for [[new gTLD|new gTLDs]]. It has been created by greenSec Solutions in March 2013 and provides detailed statistics, such as, total registered domain names, domains registered through a specific registrar, and many more.
'''nTLDStats''' is a data provider that offers statistics and breakdowns for [[new gTLD]]s.


In March 2014 the domain name blog [[TheDomains]] did an interview with the founder of nTLDStats to find out his motivation behind this project. <ref>[http://www.thedomains.com/2014/03/11/interview-with-the-founder-of-ntldstats-com/ Interview with Stefan Meinecke]</ref>
The platform was created by [[Stefan Meinecke]] in March 2014.<ref name="interview">[https://www.thedomains.com/2014/03/11/interview-with-the-founder-of-ntldstats-com/ The Domains: Interview with the founder of NtldStats.com] Retrieved November 18, 2025</ref>

* Statistics portal: provides a free web-based interface to zone-file–derived statistics on gTLDs, including views by TLD, registry, registrar, backend operator, and country.<ref name="faqs">[https://ntldstats.com/faq nTLDStats: FAQ] Retrieved November 18, 2025</ref> <ref>[https://ntldstats.com/tld nTLDStats: TLD Statistics] Retrieved November 18, 2025</ref>


==Controversy==
* Launch information service: publishes structured information on TLD launch phases (such as Sunrise, Landrush, Early Access, and General Availability) via a public web calendar and machine-readable files linked from its "Launch" service.<ref>[https://ntldstats.com/launch nTLDStats: Launch Service] Retrieved November 18, 2025</ref>
Even though nTLDstats became quite popular, there are still doubts that the provided staticts are accurate. The main reason for those divergences shown by competitors are different methods being used to determine statistics or excluding domain names as internal ones.

* CZDS status dashboard: aggregates data about ICANN Centralized Zone Data Service (CZDS) requests, including total requests, zones covered, and current request status, through a dedicated CZDS status page.<ref>[https://ntldstats.com/czds nTLDStats: CZDS Requests] Retrieved November 18, 2025</ref>
* [http://www.ntldstats.com nTLDStats]
 
* Programmatic API: offers an API (in beta) that allows users to submit domains or bulk lists for processing, retrieve statistics (for TLDs, registrars, registries, backends, parking and fraud), and access public information such as TLD lists, new gTLD applications, launch events, and CZDS request data.<ref>[https://ntldstats.com/api nTLDStats: API Documentation] Retrieved November 18, 2025</ref>
 
* Account-based data curation: provides manually approved accounts for registries, registrars, and other data providers, enabling them to update their own profile information, manage registrar groupings, and submit registration data either via web forms or the API to improve data coverage and accuracy.<ref name="faqs"></ref>
 
== Methodology ==
 
Their data is collected from many sources, like published zonefiles or provided by registrars and registries.
 
The CZDS data is updated every day at 08:00 UTC. The website update their data at least every 24 hours.
As zonefiles are utilized as their primary source, nTLDStats mostly list domains that have at least one nameserver (which does not need to be valid) or a DNSKEY set.<ref name="faqs"></ref>
