.cymru domains list

What is .cymru TLD

The .cymru TLD is the geographic top‑level domain representing Wales and Welsh‑language identity. We define .cymru domains as registered names under this extension, and .cymru websites as active properties resolving on them. In global context, adoption extends beyond Wales, with usage observed in 37 countries. Our index currently measures 9,551 active .cymru domains, of which 7,328 operate as live .cymru websites; 7,328 show configured DNS, indicating broad technical readiness. We classify lifecycle states and track DNS posture to understand operational maturity across registrants. Short‑term flow remains stable, with 4 new registrations detected last week. These baselines help policymakers, marketers, and researchers gauge linguistic and regional digital presence across the namespace. Download webatla’s .cymru domain datasets for deeper analysis.

History and key features of .cymru TLD

Introduced through ICANN’s expansion of geographic and community TLDs, .cymru provides a consistent namespace for Welsh identity online. Historically, demand has been led by public bodies, cultural institutions, and SMEs seeking bilingual clarity; technically, policies are typical of open geoTLDs. Feature‑wise, registrants use .cymru domains to signal locality, while .cymru websites support Welsh‑first content strategies and coherent branding. Naming policies, renewal behavior, and second‑level label patterns reflect practical, inclusive use rather than niche reservation. We record 54 in February 2026 and a website‑to‑domain balance of 7,328 to 9,551, with DNS activation at 7,328. Adoption spans 37 countries, underscoring diaspora and international partnerships. Researchers can track change over time using our longitudinal snapshots and renewal cohorts. Download the historical .cymru datasets from webatla.

Why and who choose the .cymru domain

Organizations choose the .cymru domain to foreground Welsh culture, audience proximity, and service territory. Typical adopters include government units, education, cultural bodies, media, tourism, and SMEs; international firms with Welsh operations also participate. For strategy, .cymru domains convey clear geo‑linguistic relevance, while .cymru websites align content, navigation, and trust cues for Welsh users without ambiguity. For multi‑market portfolios, .cymru often complements other TLDs to segment audiences by language or region. From a scale perspective, we index 9,551 registrations and 7,328 live builds, with DNS configured on 7,328 across 37 countries; recent activity includes 54 in February 2026. These signals help benchmark market penetration, localization efforts, and multi‑domain architectures. Download webatla’s .cymru datasets to evaluate fit and opportunities.
