Reported New Domain Registrations + Renewal-Rate Projection

Growth computed from combined .com + .net domain base. Quarterly figures from earnings reports, live data from daily cron snapshots. Z-score and percentile calculated against daily zone count history. Reported quarters use published new-registration data where available. Projected quarters respect quarter boundaries: a closed quarter is frozen using zone data through its end date (awaiting the earnings report), while the current quarter extrapolates its own quarter-to-date trend. Recognized deletions come from expected expiring names and the renewal-rate assumption, with carryover deletions chained from one quarter into the next (Q1 calibration).
