Namecheap reveals the most popular TLDs of 2025 - and although an old favorite rules the roost, new AI challengers are coming

Namecheap, one of the best web hosting providers around today, and the second largest domain registrar, has revealed extensive new findings on the biggest TLDs of 2025.

The company's 2025 Domain Insights and Trends report examines more than 22 million domains, and perhaps unsurprisingly found the .com TLD was the most popular with 4.6 million domain names registered between 1 January and 31 December 2025.

The second most popular TLD was .info, moving up four positions, with 500,000 registrations, with .site, .shop, .xyz, and .org also showing close to half a million registrations. The TLD that saw the most growth is .space growing 404% from 35,028 registrations in 2024 to 176,276 in 2025, with other TLDs seeing major growth including .app with a 12% rise, and .ai with a 55% increase.
