Two months ago I shared my September dataset here (368k sites) and got a ton of useful feedback. Since then I’ve overhauled my methodology – the November dataset is much larger and more accurate.

What Changed Since September

  1. All TLDs (not just .com) – Previously tracked only .com. Now tracking all extensions: .store, .online, .io, country codes, etc.
  2. All languages – Removed the English-only filter.
  3. Improved geo-detection – Country accuracy is significantly better. USA went from 70% → 53% because of better global coverage (not fewer U.S. launches).

November 2025 Summary

  • Total launches: 677,544
  • Daily average: 22,585
  • Hourly: 941
  • Per minute: 15.7
  • Countries: 392

Key Findings

Geography

Among the 477k sites with location data:

  • USA: 53% (253,589)
  • India: 7.1% (34,127)
  • Canada: 4.2%
  • UK: 3.9%
  • Pakistan: 2.1%

The long tail of smaller countries becomes visible with the expanded tracking.

TLDs

  • .com — 64.3% (435,622)
  • .store — 5.6%
  • .org — 3.9%
  • .online — 3.5%
  • .site — 3.4%

Country TLDs (.in, .ca, .ai, etc.) continue to grow.

Platforms

Detected on 295k sites:

  • WordPress: 39%
  • Shopify: 29%
  • WooCommerce: 14%
  • Squarespace: 8.6%
  • Wix: 8%
  • Webflow: 1% (lower than hype suggests)

WordPress + WooCommerce = 54% of all detected platforms.

Categories

  • E-Commerce: 24% (164,010 sites)
  • Adult & Gambling: 13.5% (91,652)
  • News & Blogs, SaaS, Home & Garden also strong.

Launch Timing

  • Busiest: Friday (15.3%)
  • Quietest: Sunday (12.7%) People launch every day — differences are small.

Comparison to September

Metric September November Change
Total sites 368,454 677,544 +84%
USA % 70% 53% −17pp (methodology)
WordPress % 32% 39% +7pp
E-Commerce % 36% 24% −12pp

The USA share dropped because global detection improved. Absolute USA counts increased.
