# faq
? How many .software domains are registered?
There are 28,999 active .software domains as of October 13, 2026, according to DNSniffer’s daily count of zone-file and certificate-transparency records.
? Is .software growing or shrinking?
.software has grown by 34.70% over the last year (+7,470 domains).
? Where does the .software 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 .software 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.
