VeriSign release statistics of more than 180 Million registered domain names…

During the first quarter of 2009 VeriSign released statistics of more than 180 million registered domain names across the Internet.

They stated that during the first quarter, a high amount of new registrations is always expected from looking at previous years figures. The new figures released are a 12% increase globally on domain name registrations from last year.

The most popular domain suffix is .com, which totals up to 43% of all registrations. .uk and .de are also doing well for country specific domain names with .de registrations amounting to around 90% of Germanys total domain registrations.

Who owns the domain names?

Around two thirds of all domain name registrations are business owners and 64% of all domain names now have an active website. VeriSign released figures that state approximately one in 100 people now own a domain name.

These figures give us an indication on how quickly the Internet is growing and how much of a demand there is for domain names. Register your domain name with us now to ensure someone else doesn’t register it first…
