ShareDNS

Looking at the DNS landscape today, ShareDNS stands out not for flashy marketing or domain marketplace features, but for something far more fundamental: they're quietly powering the DNS infrastructure for nearly 3 million domains across the web. When you dig into the numbers, ShareDNS operates one of the larger DNS hosting platforms you've probably never heard of, with their name servers handling everything from premium .COM domains to newer extensions like .TOP and .CYOU.

What makes ShareDNS particularly interesting is their focus on bulk DNS hosting rather than the typical registrar model. While most companies in the domain space are fighting over registration services or aftermarket sales, ShareDNS has carved out a niche as the backend infrastructure provider. Their SHARE-DNS.NET name servers alone handle over 2.8 million .COM domains, plus hundreds of thousands more across dozens of other TLDs.

The scale becomes clear when you look at their domain portfolio distribution. Beyond the massive .COM presence, they're hosting 276,588 .TOP domains, 122,387 .CYOU domains, and 113,021 .VIP domains. This isn't random — it suggests they've built strong relationships with registrars and bulk domain investors who need reliable DNS infrastructure at scale.

ShareDNS operates through multiple DNS clusters, including both share-dns.com and share-dns.net name servers, both leveraging Cloudflare's global infrastructure for performance and reliability. This partnership with Cloudflare gives their DNS hosting the kind of global reach and uptime that enterprise customers demand.

Their positioning is smart. Instead of competing in the crowded domain registration market, they've focused on becoming the DNS provider that other companies rely on. When domain portfolios need reliable name servers, when registrars need scalable DNS infrastructure, or when businesses need enterprise-grade DNS without the enterprise price tag, ShareDNS has built the infrastructure to deliver.
