.me The .ME Domain Hits 800,000 Registrations

[Arpit131]

The .ME Registry announced today that its ccTLD has passed 800,000 domain registrations. Since its launch in 2008 Montenegro’s country code domain has been marketed as a premier choice for building a personal brand and it quickly became one of the favorite new extensions among creative individuals who want to stand out online. The domain has continued to grow steadily in response to the global trend of nurturing personal identity online.

“This is a big day for us! Knowing that you are getting closer to one million domains in the registry is extremely rewarding”, stated Predrag Lesic, Executive Director of the .ME Registry.
“We marketed .ME domains aggressively from the very beginning and as of now we have more than two hundred accredited registrar partners and customers from almost every country in the world. This could not have been done without them”.

I'm pretty sure that's because Namecheap has been giving .Me domains away for free for over a year now (to students in the U.S).

.XYZ launched less than a year ago and has over 900,000.

Probably nothing to do with that. A year ago, May 2014, they had 761,000 regs - http://www.hosterstats.com/DomainNameCounts2014.php

If you look at the history, they've been steadily going up. .xyz in it's first year could go backwards because of all that Netsol stuff.
