T+0 · Registration
A domain is registered at any of the 2,500+ ICANN accredited registrars worldwide and enters the registry zone.
Newly registered domains (NRD)
The list of newly registered domains, with whois attached
A zone file tells you a domain exists. Our daily NRD feed tells you who registered it — verified name, email, phone, address, organisation and registrar — within 24 hours of registration.

Collection pipeline
From registration to your FTP in under 24 hours
Every new domain passes the same four stages before it reaches your daily file.
T+2 to 12h · Zone capture
The new name appears in the daily zone diff. We queue it and start whois lookups against the authoritative registry and registrar servers.
T+18h · Parsing & dedupe
Raw whois text is parsed into 40+ normalised columns, duplicates are collapsed and malformed responses are re-queried.
T+24h · Privacy strip & delivery
Whois guard and proxy records are removed, files are split per TLD, zipped and pushed to your FTP account.

NRD questions
Newly registered domains — frequently asked
What is a newly registered domain (NRD)?+
A newly registered domain is any domain name first registered within a recent window — typically the last 24 hours to 30 days. NRDs are widely used for lead generation and are also a strong signal in security filtering, because a large share of phishing and spam infrastructure is under 30 days old.
How fast do new domains reach my FTP account?+
Within about 24 hours of registration. Zone capture starts within hours, whois enrichment and parsing follow, and the finished files land on your FTP as a single daily drop.
How many new domains are registered per day?+
Volumes typically run between 180,000 and 240,000 per day across all TLDs, with weekday peaks and lower weekend registration. The last ten days of measured volume are shown on this page.
Do you include just-expired and dropped domains?+
Yes. Alongside daily new registrations we publish domains that have just reached expiry, which is useful for drop-catching, re-registration monitoring and portfolio research.
Are privacy-protected new domains included?+
No. Records behind a whois guard or privacy proxy carry no usable registrant detail, so they are removed before delivery and you are never charged for them.
Can I get only new domains from one country or one TLD?+
Yes. Files are already split per TLD in every plan, and the country-filtered subscription adds one file per registrant country each day.
