.PT set a new record in 2020 with 96,715 new registrations in .pt, 18,020 more than in 2019, which represents a growth of 22.9% and makes the last year the best ever.

In the first half of 2020, almost 50 thousand new domains under .pt were registered, 10,423 more than in the same period last year, which corresponds to an increase of 26.35%. April was the one with the highest growth compared to the previous year - 67% -, as well as the largest number of new domains.

The Summer, the period of the year in which the number of registrations traditionally slows down, maintained a growth trend this year, with the months of June, July, August and September totaling more than 30 thousand new registrations, comparing to the 23 thousand in 2019.

In turn, the reinforcement of the measures to combat the pandemic announced by the Government in October again contributed to the increase in the number of registrations, mainly in November, the second highest, with a total of 9,082 domains.

If direct registrations are added to registrations via Empresa na Hora, the total annual value exceeds 130 thousand, 9,893 more than in 2019.

In addition to the mission as responsible for the management of the Portuguese top-level domain, .PT plays an active role in areas such as digital inclusion, digital skills and internet security, by supporting programs such as INCoDe.2030, MUDA , EUSOUDIGITAL, Apps for Good or 'Engineers for a day'.

Since 2013, the .pt domain has grown consecutively, having achieved the biggest increase ever in the last year. On average, 400 new domains are registered per day in .pt.
