The Annual Global Domain Report from InterNetX and Sedo Is Here - 2026 Edition Has Invaluable Information from Every Corner of the Domain Industry

Every year InterNetX and Sedo join forces to produce an extraordinarily comprehensive report of where things stand across all sectors of the domain industry. The 2026 edition of their Global Domain Report has just been released with insightful commentary from experts from around the world on everything from domain sales and trends to new gTLDs to AI to Web3 to DNS Abuse to..., well - you get the idea - it's all in there and it's all free of charge

In addition to the sheer volume of invaluable content that took months to assemble, I have to hand it to the GDR graphics team for an eye appealing

theme that makes all of the charts, tables and sidebar comments pop off the page. As I told  InterNetX's Global Content & Communications Manager, Simone Catania, sfter reading the new edition, "Every year I read this report and think, there is no way this can be done any better! Then the next year it arrives and it is even better - amazing work from everyone involved in producing it." The report begins with welcoming commentary from new Sedo CEO Arthur Mai and InterNetX CEO Elias Rendón Benger.

Data from Sedo's marketplace provided a good reminder that there is much more to domain sales than the six-figure and higher transactions people tend to focus on. The report notes, "The aftermarket is largely driven by transactions in the lower and mid-price segments, which account for the majority of sales. While high-value domains continue to attract attention, most trading activity takes place at price levels accessible to startups, small businesses and investors."

"Seller feedback reflects a similar pattern, with most respondents reporting sales in the sub-$10,000 range. At the same time, survey results highlight broader market dynamics influencing pricing, particularly the limited availability of strong .com domains, as well as AI and technology trends and the global economic environment. Together, these insights underline that while premium sales shape market perception, the mid-market remains the core driver of domain trading activity.
