At the end of 2015, the .pl domain registry, with nearly 2.7 million names, held the eleventh position among the biggest ccTLD registries in the world. In 2015, a daily average of 3,068 names were entered in the .pl domain. For comparison in 2014, this was 2,818 names.

The number of registrations was 91,000 higher than in 2014 and 31,000 higher than in 2011, which until now was the best year ever in the number of new registrations.
