ccTLD Domain Statistics

I appreciate your efforts. Thanks for the huge data update. Rep added.

I wanted to check the latest info about .in and .cn but I couldn't find them.

Thanks. Most of the data has to be updated manually.

The .cn registry has only published the figures up to the end of April. The .in registry doesn't publish stats but based on some information from March 2009, the figure for .in was about 480K domains. It may be in the 500K region at the moment.

The interesting thing is that the .asia sTLD seems to be over the bulk of its Junk Dump drops and the rate of deletions has begun to decrease.

Hi jmcc,

Are you not reporting domain counts by ccTLD anymore? .AU just hit 1.5m last month and they now publish a domain count here - auDA

EDIT: Sorry I can see that you are - just in a different place. Keep up the great work! Thanks

Thanks Netfleet,
That auDA domain counter is a great link as I can now add a more up to date .au figure to the stats. I was working on a global ccTLD stats page that would be updated daily but it got a bit sidelined as I have been working on a new monthly Excel report on the historical domain counts for about 70K hosters that will be launched next week. (It is a 55MB workbook with the stats for every hoster with more than 50 domains hosted over com/net/org/biz/info/mobi/asia. The hard part is not the work but actually figuring out how to price it. )

The Webhosting.info statistics are over 2.6 Million domains in error. But the Domaintools figures are more accurate.

CCTLD Sales

I list cctld sales I learn of them at www.genericcctlds.com

I've just updated the 2009 ccTLD statistics for 37 ccTLDs. The .cn was still the largest ccTLD at the end of 2009 and it is narrowly ahead of .de ccTLD.

The order of the top Global ccTLDs has changed with .cn dropping to third place behind Germany's .de and the UK's .uk ccTLDs.

As of April 2010, the domain counts are:
.de ccTLD: 13,630,401
.uk ccTLD: 8.483,010
.cn ccTLD: 8,254,681

Thank you. Another thing I noticed was that .ASIA in a constant decline and .TEL is on a rise.

Right now .tel is shrinking.

You are correct, my bad. And yes, I was sober when I posted that.

The .tel figure has been up and down over the last few weeks due to Enom running a below cost special offer for its resellers. This has boosted .tel figures. However .tel is in the middle of its Junk Dump landrush anniversary when a lot of the highly speculative domains registered during its landrush will be dropped. This typically shrinks a TLD and .tel's overall trend is downwards.

TLD Stats and economics

Here is another List of TLD´s and theyr current amount of Domains, this time it has been compared to the countries GDP ind GDP/Domain, instead of GDP/Capita. I am missing some important ccTLDs such as Thailand, Egypt, Greece and Nigera so I would appreciate info on those.

Help me understand, how does GDP/Domain provide any useful info?

its something like GDP/Capita, it shows how much of a countries GDP is available per registered domain, this is a very rough method (just as is GDP/capita) but if you look at the list you immediatly see that it makes sense. Montenegro has the lowest value on the list because the TLD is hardly used within the country and has only value looking at the "funny" extension name. On the upper side of the list you will see all the emerging market ranked by how far their TLD has been used and again this makes sense and gives you a look at how emerging these markets are (again without taking into consideration how restrictive registrations are etc.)

The .asia drop is the echo of last year's Junk Dump/Landrush anniversary. I am not sure how low the .asia sTLD will go in the next few months but it may stabilise around 175K.

The .Tel drop from April 2010.

Click to expand...

The .tel has been in its Junk Dump/Landrush anniversary since March 2010 and its figures have been unstable. There is an eNom reseller offer running at the moment that is selling .tel domains below cost so that has hidden the real effect of the Junk Dump.

that sheet shows india as having 510K domains. .IN passed the 600K mark a month or 2 ago, so that # is off by almost 100K..

I agree, I will review the data in some weeks, however, that would not make much different to the general conclusion of the study.

Any .TV Statistics?

jmcc,

Why are there two different tables like end of month and start of month?

Why not put them together and have one simple table?

31 Jan and 1 Feb are not too far away. You could simply put them all under 1 Feb.

I want to see a sortable table where I can click on the table headers and sort.

It is a shame so much work has been wasted creating the tables in such a way where you can't compare the numbers.

Edit:
This is what I want to see:

I do this with the spreadsheet reports but the stats page is based on the way that the registries report their numbers. I'm not sure about a sortable table (I remember reading how it could be done in PHP PEAR) but I will put a single table page up next week.

I've asked but the registry never provided any statistics. I'll ask again.

jmcc,
Half of them are reporting their numbers on let's say 31 October and the other half on 1 November. What you do it you just create two different tables for them.

What I'm saying is, this is the wrong thing to do. You should put this data together on one table. Just assume the 31 October as 1 November as well.

Why don't you put the data together and make it more useful? I was so annoyed by that I just closed the page. I'm even thinking to do this myself if you can't do it.

In the domain business, days matter. Some registries do mass deletions on the last day of each month so mixing the two without explanation could given an inaccurate image of the situation.

Well the most of the data (the gTLD figures) in the start of the month table is generated from actually crunching the zone files.
