26 monthly DNS snapshots, April 2023 to June 2026: domains pointing at parking, for-sale, expiry and registrar-default landers grew from 16.0% to a peak of 25.5% of all website records — 73.6 million domains — then began the first sustained decline on record, in the exact quarter Google switched off the parking ad economy and Bodis shut down. GoDaddy front doors hold three-quarters of the lot. For measurement researchers, registrars, security teams, and anyone who counts 'websites'.

We compared the website address of every domain that resolved in both April 2023 and June 2026 — 110.6 million survivors — and classified both endpoints by BGP network. 46.8% answer from the exact same IP three years later; 67.7% never left their provider. The biggest migration wasn't chosen by any webmaster: GoDaddy moved its 10-million-domain lander estate from Google Cloud to AWS anycast, and the parked web doubled to 24.8% of all site records. For hosting strategists, registrars, measurement researchers, and anyone who thinks the cloud wars are moving the web.

We pointed an NS-typed crawl at 301 million registry domains to ask who actually answers the first question of every web request. 277.6 million are delegated, and the answer is concentrated: registrar-bundled DNS runs nearly half the delegated web, GoDaddy leads at 18.9% as the default nobody chose, and Cloudflare follows at 13.9% as the operator everybody migrates to — more than every hyperscaler cloud combined. Beneath the leaderboard sits a quieter finding: 92.5% of delegated domains depend on a single DNS organization with no independent backup. Built from 151 million-plus apex NS records.
