How many .best domains exist, how fast the extension is growing, and how its names are secured and used, counted every day from the registry’s own zone file.
Registry snapshot verified 2 November 2026
87,505 .best names are delegated today, which means registered and live with nameservers. Registered names without nameservers are not in the zone, so the total registrations are a little higher.

<img src="https://axath.com/stats/best/chart.svg" alt=".best domain movement">Over the last 30 days 11,996 names entered the .best zone and 1,289 left it, a net gain of 10,707.
9.15% of delegated .best names publish a DS record, 8,010 in total. This measures adoption across the extension, not the security of any single website.
What a DS record does is in DNSSEC explained, and whether you actually need it.
1.57% of .best names, 1,372, use known parking or marketplace nameservers. It is a provider-based heuristic, reliable across the extension but not a verdict on any one domain.
