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; the current quarter projection uses observed net adds and estimated recognized deletions from 38.5M expected Q2 expiring names, a 75.5% renewal-rate assumption, and the Q1 carryover calibration.
