# faq
? How many .ac.uk domains are registered?
There are 2,830 active .ac.uk domains as of September 4, 2026, according to DNSniffer’s daily count of zone-file and certificate-transparency records.
? Is .ac.uk growing or shrinking?
.ac.uk has grown by 5.60% over the last year (+150 domains).
? Where does the .ac.uk domain count come from?
We ingest ICANN CZDS zone files and Certificate Transparency logs continuously and snapshot the per-TLD count once a day. A .ac.uk domain is counted as active if it appeared in a zone file in the last 2 days, or - where no zone file is published - if a certificate was issued for it in the last 12 months.
