July 2024 Top 10 gTLD and ccTLD Highlights

The WhoisXML API research team analyzed more than 7.3 million domains registered between 1 and 31 July 2024, 58.1 billion domains from our DNS database’s A record full file released in July 2024, and more than 1 million domains detected as indicators of compromise (IoCs) in the same month.

Our research team uncovered:

Global Domain Activity Report: Q2 2024

Here is another edition of the Global Domain Activity Report, this time focusing on registrant behaviors connected to 21.5+ million newly registered domains (NRDs) in Q2 2024. We also analyzed 630+ million mail exchange (MX) resolutions and 3.3+ million malicious indicators of compromise (IoCs) detected in the same period.

Our research team leveraged WhoisXML API’s extensive domain, DNS, and threat intelligence to uncover:

Global Domain Activity Report: Q1 2024

Our latest Global Domain Activity Report delivers insights into the registrant behaviors related to more than 21 million newly registered domains (NRDs) in Q1 20243. This analysis is complemented by the identification of 3.2 million indicators of compromise (IoCs) discovered during the same period.

Using our comprehensive domain, DNS, and threat intelligence, the report sheds light on:

Global Domain Activity Report: Q4 2023

Our researchers released another edition of the Global Domain Activity Report focusing on registrant behaviors for 31+ million newly registered domains in Q4 2023, along with an analysis of 1.4+M new malicious indicators detected in the same period.

By leveraging WhoisXML API’s extensive domain, DNS, and threat intelligence, we uncovered:

Global Domain Activity Report: Q3 2023

Using a combination of comprehensive global domain and cyber threat intelligence, WhoisXML API researchers analyzed the domain registrations in Q3 2023, zoomed in on suspicious new domains, and examined actual indicators of compromise (IoCs) reported within the same period.
