The number of registered.com domain names fell last quarter, the second consecutive quarter-over-quarter fall.
As of September 30, the last day of Q3, there were approximately 160.9 million registered.com domain, according to information provided on Verisign’s (NASDAQ: VRSN) site. That’s down from 161.1 million, as reported in the business’s Q2 monetary outcomes.
The.net zone stayed about the very same through the quarter, ending at 13.2 million domain.
The company has formerly pointed out three reasons for the decline in registrations:
A hangover from the Covid boom, with registration numbers going back to pre-pandemic levels
International macroeconomic headwinds
Fewer registrations in China and higher registrations there last year that are restoring at lower rates
