Newly registered .WATCH domains per month

In the 30 days to , 1,007 new domains were added to the .WATCH zone file — about 33 per day. Over the last 12 months, 8,722 new .WATCH 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 .WATCH domains per month

In the 30 days to , 429 domains were removed from the .WATCH zone file — about 14 per day. Over the last 12 months, 13,508 .WATCH 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.

.WATCH zone details

.watch is a generic top-level domain intended for websites centered on viewing experiences and real-time observation — including video platforms, live streams, event coverage, reviews, and monitoring interfaces. It tells visitors the site’s primary function is visual content or continuous viewing rather than general commerce or static information.

Typical use cases include broadcaster channels, creator portfolios and show landing pages, sports and esports coverage, product demo sites, watch party hubs, and real-time dashboards for security or analytics. Teams also use .watch for campaign microsites, episode links, and branded streaming portals where the extension reinforces the content type.

From a branding perspective, .watch communicates purpose immediately and can make domains more memorable for audiences seeking visual or time-sensitive content. Organizations choose it to align domain language with their service, differentiate from generic extensions, and create a clearer call to action that signals viewing or monitoring without implying technical performance guarantees.

Download and filter .WATCH domains with the API

Download the latest .WATCH 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 .WATCH domain list
curl --fail --location \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ${ALLZF_API_TOKEN}" \
  -o watch.txt.gz \
  https://allzonefiles.io/api/v1/zones/watch/dl

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

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

Coverage and methodology for .WATCH data

Complete zone-file coverage. The .WATCH registry publishes its zone file through ICANN's Centralized Zone Data Service (CZDS). AllZonefiles.io downloads the complete .WATCH 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.

.WATCH domain questions

How many .WATCH domains are there?

The .WATCH zone file dated 16 Oct 2026 contains 14,834 domain names. Registered domains without nameservers or on hold are not in the zone file, so the number of registrations can be slightly higher. Monthly totals since June 2025 are in the monthly table.

Is the .WATCH zone growing?

In the 12 months to 16 Oct 2026, the .WATCH zone shrank: a net change of -4,786 domains. Over the last 30 days the net change was +578.

How many new .WATCH domains are registered each day?

In the 30 days to 16 Oct 2026, 1,007 new domains were added to the .WATCH zone file, about 33 per day. In the last 12 months, 8,722 new domains appeared. Monthly figures are in the new domains table.

How many .WATCH domains expire each month?

In the 30 days to 16 Oct 2026, 429 domains were removed from the .WATCH zone file, about 14 per day. Most are expired or deleted registrations. Each month's count is in the expired domains table.

Is this a complete .WATCH domain list?

Yes, for domains in the zone file. The list contains every domain name in the complete .WATCH zone file published through ICANN CZDS. It does not include registered domains absent from the zone file, and presence in the zone does not confirm a working website.

How do I download the .WATCH domain list?

Sign in with an account that has download access and use the download button above, or automate the download with the API example. Check plans and download limits before subscribing.

Can I download historical .WATCH domain lists?

Yes. Available dates appear in the historical domain list table. Archive coverage varies, and downloads require historical access. See historical datasets for details.

Are expired .WATCH domains available to register?

Not necessarily. A domain removed from the zone file may be in a redemption or pending-delete period, or on hold, and can return. Check current registry or registrar information before trying to register a name.

When is the .WATCH data updated?

All datasets have a daily update target of 9:00 AM UTC. The latest .WATCH snapshot is dated 16 Oct 2026; check the snapshot date because source delays can affect individual files.
