Radix Reports Their Best Six-Month Stretch of Premium Domain Registrations to Date

If you have been following our bi-weekly domain sales reports this year, you already know the domain aftermarket has been on fire. However, that's not the only sector where sales are exploding. Radix (the administrator of ten new gTLDs including .tech, .fun, .online and .store among others) just announced the number of premium domain registrations they had in the 1st Half of 2025 (.pdf) soared 50% higher than the same half last year. 

The Radix onslaught was led by an eye-popping expansion in .tech registrations as they rocketed 70% above the previous half (2H-2024). In the latest half alone .tech had 32 registrations at $5,000 a year, 10 at $10,000 a year a single-character reg at $25,000 a year (the renewal cost for premiums is the same as the initial fee).

While .tech enjoyed the highest rate of growth, .fun was also busy having a good time as they brought in highest overall number of premium Radix registrations as shown in the table below:

Though the cost for premium domains is substantial, Radix saw solid renewal numbers for theirs. 57% renewed after the first year. The percentage of those who renewed for a second time rose to 73% and once they reached a third renewal (and subsequent ones), 85% of the registrants re-upped. There are more interesting details in the full report that you can read here.
