Domain Name Wire’s monthly .Com Winners & Losers based on the latest official data.

ICANN has published the latest .com transactions report from registry Verisign, showing official results from May.

Here are the top 5 registrars in May in terms of new .com registrations:

1. GoDaddy* 872,473
2. Rightside** 209,994
3. HiChina 174,424
4. Tucows 114,464
5. PublicDomainRegistry 95,198

Here are the top five registrars for net inbound transfers:

1. Mesh Digital +13,980
2. Uniregistry +12,360
3. EIMS.cn +10,315
4. Google +9,049
5. NameSilo +5,747

EIMS.cn is a new entrant. It appears to be focused on IOT. I left MAFF Inc of the list because it seems to be a private registrar. [Update: MAFF is operating as XZ.com. It was +7,363 on transfers.]

On the flip side, these five registrars saw the biggest net outflow of .com domain names due to transfers:

1. Web.com*** -20,131
2. Tucows -18,713
3. Fabulous -7,976
4. 1&1 -5,234
5. Moniker -4,887
