discuss .com.mx Vs .mx

The registry rolled out the shorter .mx version in 2009 at a time when .com.mx already had over 250,000 domains registered. As of May-2018 the totals are 632,800 vs 311,933. They are growing at the same pace which is a good sign. Maybe just early adoption of the .com.mx, the use of other ugly extensions like .org.mx and .gob.mx and .edu.mx, plus companies doing the same old thing over and over. A few other latin american countries have a similar rather ugly tld structure.

The stats for these are here:

I think NameBio and the other sales history sites fail to pick up both .mx and .com.mx. I mean if you are not from the US why would you report those sales to the US domainer sites? So also a bit of "..if it doesn't get reported in the US, the numbers don't go up".

I have a few .mx names for sale on my site if anyone is interested in taking a look.
