# faq
- ? How many .black domains are registered?
- There are 6,439 active .black domains as of October 18, 2026, according to DNSniffer’s daily count of zone-file and certificate-transparency records.
- ? Is .black growing or shrinking?
- .black has grown by 31.35% over the last year (+1,537 domains).
- ? Where does the .black 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 .black 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.
