Registration in real time
Deletion of a .com domain is performed 90 days after the domain's expiration date if, during this interval, the holder does not renew their right of use by paying the annual maintenance fee and, where applicable, the quarantine fee.
Following deletion, the domain becomes available for registration on a "first come, first served" basis.
The deletion of .com domain names is processed automatically based on the availability of the RoTLD Registry servers.
Trends and General Information
Registration of a .com domain was originally reserved for American companies. Today, individuals and companies worldwide can register a .com domain. The .com extension stands for the English word "commercial." .com is the most widely used extension, with over 100 million domains registered worldwide. The registry for .com is VeriSign Inc., headquartered in Mountain View, California.
.com is a so-called generic top-level domain (gTLD) — a "descriptive domain": the field of services and products is recognized in the extension. Corporations especially benefit: they buy and register .com domains that represent their company on the World Wide Web (WWW).
Statistics
The "commercial" domain is one of the most popular top-level domains worldwide. More than 100 million domains were counted in March 2012 — nearly a hundred times more than .ro domains. Most are reserved for international companies, but private individuals can now also buy and register their own personal .com domain.
Update: În data de 31.01.2020, RoTLD a raportat un număr de 602,622 de domenii .ro înregistrate și 7,526 de domenii .com.ro.
