.mobi Top 10 .mobi hosters

[jmcc]

I've been analysing domain stats for the .mobi TLD and as of yesterday, the top ten .mobi hosters are:

domains - hoster

151290 SECURESERVER.NET (Godaddy)
51097 SEDOPARKING.COM
15303 DNS.COM.CN
10653 HICHINA.COM
9289 TRAFFICCLUB.COM
7931 EURODNS.COM
7344 NAME-SERVICES.COM
6271 UDAGDNS.NET
6178 1UND1.DE
6073 DOMAINSERVICE.COM

It looks like .mobi is off to a good start.

hmmm .. pretty interesting, thanks for the info - rep added!

kinda starting to show those that don't have mobile compliant parking/ hosting pages what they are missing out on

Hey thanks. That is a nice piece of info. It does show that there are way too many parked .mobis. Your list accounts for about 270K / 400K. The GD ones could be hosted sites so you cannot say those are all parked. Obviously though the Sedo ones are and Traffic Club too. Can someone else comment on the others?

poor bastards

6178 1UND1.DE

Those are just the nameservers and domain counts. I'm doing a website survey at the moment and it will take a few more hours to complete. The search engine part will take a bit longer.

Your list accounts for about 270K / 400K.

I've got the full list here for all .mobi domains and it breaks down over 7758 hosters (nameservers). But the .mobi looks a lot healthier than .eu ccTLD. These are the top 10 .eu hosters based on approximately 77% of active .eu domains:

.eu ccTLD at 20070301
domains - hoster
124137 1UND1.DE
108166 UDAGDNS.NET
92923 RZONE.DE
67916 SEDOPARKING.COM (Parking)
64855 OVIDIOLIMITED.COM *
52828 NAME-SERVICES.COM *
43701 XSS.RO *
43659 TECHNORAIL.COM
42587 FABULOUS.COM (Parking)
39647 BLIXEM.NL *

The hosters marked with an asterisk are warehousing or aggregating domains (or in some cases like xss.ro are cybersquatting operations) or have identified parking/warehousing operations on their servers.

The GD ones could be hosted sites so you cannot say those are all parked. Obviously though the Sedo ones are and Traffic Club too. Can someone else comment on the others?

It will take a bit more work but the only way to do it is a complete index with a search engine (which I conveniently happen to have ).

I don't know if there is any traffic on .mobi to take advantage of parked sites. Though if it does exist, it would be people typing in urls to see if they exist.

Looks like a lot of parked .mobis.

There is definately a lot of parked mobis. The real acid test will be in a year. I think that is enough time to develop a site or two. I know I am developing. I have plans on many of my names. Even if they are little sites to begin with, I have a real drive to develop.

Personally the only advantage I see right now for parking .mobi's is to gather traffic stats on what to develop next in my portfolio of names. Sure I have sold some and will sell a few more but building .mobi sites is my goal and the parking stats can help guide the decision making.

 

[board-game]

most of these aren't developed.

 

[maxwellsmart]

Development is the key. We all need to stimulate development and place our sites in directories.

I wish dot mobi would do more to encourage development. I hope it is coming.

I don't think they are not doing too bad a job, they have http://pc.dev.mobi/
which is pretty helpful.

I think as a whole the "mobile web" has been overlooked a great deal. I can go to hotscripts and pull a free script for just about anything I can think of. Yet when I want mobile web scripts, the options are way limited.

Rep added, useful info.

Mine are all on Dreamhost.com forwarded to NameDrive if parked, fully hosted if developed.
