NZ domain name totals grow in 2025 The .nz domain namespace has grown in every month on 2025 so far. Total domains are close to the highest ever even as renewals are lower than historical norms.

A graph showing the percentage of expiring .nz domains that are renewed each month. It's quite steady at 90% for years until mid-2022, then it drops for about a year and a half, nearing 80% at the end of 2023. Today it is in the mid-80s and quite flat.

Less good: Renewal rates. Around 85% of .nz domains are being renewed before they expire these days. That number used to be closer to, or even higher than, 90%. If this percentage increases even a little bit, future growth will be easier to sustain. (3/4)

Year-on-year growth in the number of registered .nz domains. Peaks well above 2% in early 2023, turns negative for most of 2023-4, then stays positive since last (southern) summer.

Year-on-year growth is usually pretty volatile, and 2023 was especially grim. But the namespace has turned a corner and added 1.0% y-o-y the last two months. If domain names are a sign of confidence (new businesses appearing online, for example), then this is a good sign. (2/4)

Graph of total .nz domain names. 2025 shows consistent month-on-month growth. 2024 was very uneven and 2023 saw a big drop from the all-time high of 758,000 to around 745,000. The current total is close to reaching the highest ever.

In 2025, the total number of registered .nz domain names has grown every month. Sounds boring, but it hasn't happened like this for years. If this keeps going until October, we'll have a new all-time high. Short thread... 🧵 (1/4)
