New gTLD registrations smash through 20-million barrier, but spike is not all it seems

At time of writing, according to ntldstats.com there have been 21,251,190 domain name registrations across 1,013 new gTLDs. Registrations have been on an upward trajectory since the launch of the programme in early 2014, and the line getting steeper as more TLDs go live. However, over the last week things have sped up significantly, with almost three million registrations added in three days.
