The pace is steady: 13 in the last 30 days, 15 in the 30 before. 2 certificates for unregistered .ph names (registry wildcard) are excluded: the registry answers for any name under that ending, so nobody had to register one to get a certificate for it.

Where they are registered
For the 110 with a registrar in WHOIS (59% of all). Brand-protection registrars mostly hold defensive registrations made by brands themselves, so a domain there is more likely the brand's own than an imitation.

|---|---|---|---|
| GoDaddy | 23 | 20.9% | Retail |
| NameBright | 10 | 9.1% | Retail |
