# faq
- ? How many .gov.uk domains are registered?
- There are 6,427 active .gov.uk domains as of September 4, 2026, according to DNSniffer’s daily count of zone-file and certificate-transparency records.
- ? Is .gov.uk growing or shrinking?
- .gov.uk has grown by 31.43% over the last year (+1,537 domains).
- ? Where does the .gov.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 .gov.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.
