History
nTLDStats has been created by Stefan Meinecke in March 2014 and provides detailed statistics, such as total registered domain names, domains registered through a specific registrar, among others.
In March 2014 the domain name blog TheDomains did an interview with the founder of nTLDStats, Stefan, to find out his motivation behind this project. [1]
Since May 2014 registries, registrants and large domain holders can update their data to help keeping their data accurate.[2]
In December 2015 the German domain name law blog Domain-Recht did an interview[3] with Stefan, which got translated later on.[4]
In May 2016 Denis Wisotzki was appointed COO.[5]
