Domain Name registration industry still growing
The Domain Name registration industry is still growing at a huge rate. At the end of 2007 in excess of 153 million domain names are registered worldwide across the Top Level Domain Names, with an increase of around 33 million registrations during the 12 moinths.
In the last quarter of 2007, Domain name registrations were 27 percent higher in last quarter compared to 2006 .
This growth rate is slightly below other quarters of 2007 but is in line with the traditional seasonal slowdown for that season.
The number of registered Country Code Top Level Domain Names was 58 million, a 33 percent increase year on year and a 6 percent increase quarter on quarter.
Across all domain extensions .com has the highest base followed by.de (Germany), .net and .cn (China). Fifth place is shared by .uk (United Kingdom) and .org.
