Domain names: .cn up by 399%
Verisign has just released the March 2008 edition of the Domain Name Industry Brief (PDF). As Always it is a very interesting read, and gives a good impression of the continuing growth in our industry.
Just to give an example, I picked one interesting fact: The growth per ccTLD. While the German ccTLD (.de) is still the leader (12% growth year to year), the UK ccTLD ( 17% growth) has been pushed back to the third place by the chinese ccTLD with a massive 399% growth year to year!
1. .de (Germany)
2. .cn (China)
3. .uk (United Kingdom)
4. .eu (European Union)
5. .nl (Netherlands)
6. .ar (Argentina)
7. .it (Italy)
8. .us (United States)
9. .br (Brazil)
10. .ch (Switzerland)
Have a look at the complete report for details about the other TLD and also an update on the use of IPv6 in in relation to DNS.
