All-time record of domain registrations

The number of registered domains has reached an all-time high of
more than 60 million domain names worldwide.

Figures show that country code Top Level Domains (ccTLDs) are
the fastest growing market, while general demand for new domains
remains strong. The most popular domains are still the
com-domains. The growth of com-domains is tremendous. Experts
think, that the growing sale of com-domains reveal a revival of
the "New Economy". Some experts even argue, that this growth of
domain names is an early indicator of persisting economic growth
in the USA and the whole world.

The com-domains remain the most popular domain with about a 45
percent market share.

New generic Top Level Domains outside of .com, .net and .org,
become increasingly popular, including aero-domains,
biz-domains, coop-domains, info-domains, museum-domains,
.name-domains and pro-domains.
