Newly registered .HELP domains per month

In the 30 days to , 17,203 new domains were added to the .HELP zone file — about 573 per day. Over the last 12 months, 246,785 new .HELP domains appeared.

Each monthly figure is the sum of daily additions: domain names in a day's zone file that were absent from the previous snapshot. A domain usually enters the zone file on the day it is registered, which is why these are treated as newly registered domains (NRDs); domains registered without nameservers are not in the zone file and are not counted.

Expired .HELP domains per month

In the 30 days to , 16,110 domains were removed from the .HELP zone file — about 537 per day. Over the last 12 months, 166,220 .HELP domains were removed.

Each monthly figure is the sum of daily removals: domain names in the previous snapshot that are missing from a day's zone file. Most removals are expired or deleted registrations, but a domain also leaves the zone file while it is on hold or loses its nameservers, and can return later. A removed domain is not necessarily available to register.

.HELP zone details

The .help top-level domain is intended for websites focused on assistance and support. Common uses include customer service portals, knowledge bases, troubleshooting guides, FAQ pages, help desks, live chat endpoints, community support forums, and emergency or crisis information hubs.

As a brand signal, .help immediately communicates purpose and lowers friction for users seeking assistance. Organizations choose .help to enhance clarity in marketing, create descriptive, memorable URLs, and set expectations about the type of content and responsiveness visitors will find.

Adopters range from product teams and SaaS vendors to nonprofits, freelancers, and local services that want a distinct support presence. .help is frequently used alongside a primary brand domain—via redirects, canonical pages, or linked subdomains—to provide a dedicated, easy-to-find support site with consistent navigation and customer experience.

Download and filter .HELP domains with the API

Download the latest .HELP domain list with your API token, then stream the compressed file through Python to find matching domain names. This example searches for cloud; replace the term to fit your research.

Requires curl, Python 3, and an API token with download access. Set ALLZF_API_TOKEN in your environment; plan limits apply.

Read the API documentation
# Download the latest .HELP domain list
curl --fail --location \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ${ALLZF_API_TOKEN}" \
  -o help.txt.gz \
  https://allzonefiles.io/api/v1/zones/help/dl

# Stream the file without loading it all into memory
python3 - <<'PY'
import gzip

with gzip.open("help.txt.gz", "rt") as domains:
    for line in domains:
        domain = line.strip()
        if "cloud" in domain.lower():
            print(domain)

Coverage and methodology for .HELP data

Complete zone-file coverage. The .HELP registry publishes its zone file through ICANN's Centralized Zone Data Service (CZDS). AllZonefiles.io downloads the complete .HELP zone file every day and extracts every domain name in it. Registered domains absent from the zone file, such as domains without nameservers or on hold, are not included, and presence in the zone does not confirm a working website.

Monthly totals. Each month's total is the domain count on the last available day of that month; the current month shows the latest snapshot.

New and expired domains. Each day's zone file is compared with the previous snapshot: names that appear are counted as new, names that disappear as removed. Monthly figures are sums of these daily counts, so a domain that leaves the zone and returns is counted again. The first month of data and the current month are partial and marked in the tables.

Freshness. The daily update target is 9 AM UTC. Use each file's snapshot date when scheduling imports or comparing archives; delivery can be affected by source delays.

For reproducible analysis, record the zone, snapshot date, downloaded filename, and filtering rules. Usage is subject to our dataset license; enterprise and redistribution licensing is available separately.
