Who's winning, and who is churning
We detect every provider move as it happens. The count is easy. The useful part is where the domains went. Below, 30 days of moves as net winners and losers, with the actual routes. Net, never gross, because reporting arrivals as growth is how vendor marketing lies, and it would be disprovable from our own signed data.
DNS provider 2,036 moves, 30d
Net winners and losers. A provider that gained 40 and lost 38 did not win 40, it churned - so the bar is net, and it can go either way.
A provider here is the registrable domain behind a domain's authoritative nameservers. Class chips are curated from evidence we verified; unclassified means we have not verified what that backend is.
