# faq
? How many .institute domains are registered?
There are 23,651 active .institute domains as of August 31, 2026, according to DNSniffer's daily count of zone-file and certificate-transparency records.
? Is .institute growing or shrinking?
.institute has grown by 68.21% over the last year (+9,591 domains).
? Where does the .institute 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 .institute 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.
