looking for the list of all ACTIVE [dot]com domain

**zett** · 01-19-2008, 04:09 PM

I am looking for the list of all ACTIVE [dot]com domain names in the world.

It must have millions of domains ( I read somewhere that there are at least 50 millions of active domains in the world)

I know this was available sometimes on some registers website but i cant manage to find it.

If anyone is willing to help, I am ready to buy that list.

How do you define active ? Active with a website, or a simple parking page with PPC or CPM ad links ?

ICANN registrars (and ISPs) and those connected with them through partnerships or affiliations can generate these sort of lists....

ACTIVE means domains that can not be registered, dosent matter if they have a website or not

i provide this list free of charge below updated daily. it's a monster list though.

it's updated at 3AM USC. they are downloaded from the registry.

what you are looking for is called the zone file of a TLD. The zone file of .com had over 70Million domains last time I checked.

p.s. Luc thank you for the link

no problemo.

.info is being populated now so it won't work for an hour. more zones coming soon including biz,us, and whatever solid ccTLD i can get my hands on.

nice, will you by any chance do .cz and .sk scans?

i'd love to, but finding zones or drop lists for ccTLDs is tough for me. part of the problem is i don't speak the language and google translator isn't very good at technical text or e-mail questions.

if you can point me in the direction of a zone for those i can run daily comparisons for added/removed like i do with com/net, etc and generate drop lists.

I will try to find the zone files for you - there is a small domaining community in czech republic and they might be able to help

thanks!

**petrosc** · 01-20-2008, 02:18 AM

Sending you PM with the .sk zone file

Luc, thx a ton for the zone file links.

I'd love to have one for .in / .co.in but don't have a clue where to look for zone files.

Any ideas? ( registry - http://www.inregistry.net )
