.net domain list
There are 8,438,138 registrable .net domain names in our data, with 107,372,575 subdomains under them, in the release updated 16 October 2026 — names only, as historical observations, not proof that a name resolves or is in use today.
The subdomain file has 12.7 .net names for each registrable .net domain in the domain file, against 4.0 across all top-level domains. This is a ratio of file rows, not a typical count for one site: many domains have no subdomains in the file. 16.1% of .net subdomain rows sit under a few shared namespaces (azure-api.net: 17,074,240, azurewebsites.net: 160,895); group rows by registrable domain before reading raw totals. The most common tracked leftmost label is www (7,403,285 names, 6.9% of .net subdomains).

Getting only .net
The release is sold as two complete files covering every TLD in it, not as per-TLD lists. To keep only .net, filter the files you download, for example:
zgrep -E '\.net$' getdomainlists-2026-10-16-domains.txt.gz > net-domains.txt zgrep -E '\.net$' getdomainlists-2026-10-16-subdomains.txt.gz > net-subdomains.txt
Try the format first with the free 1,000-name samples. Both full files are $9 once, with 30 days to download.
Limits
- Historical observations collected up to this release (updated 16 October 2026); not proof that a name is registered, resolves or is in use today.
- Coverage is incomplete and uneven; these counts describe this release, not the whole .net namespace.
- Names only: no owner, contact, hosting or registration-date data.
