Top Domain Extensions by Share

[cyberfixation]

I am looking for an updated list of Domain Extensions by Market Share. The only thing I could find so far (a good three hours of searching) is this list by Keith Pieper:
www.domainnamediscussion.com/DomainNameHandbook.pdf
and it is old (11/2004).

Does anyone know of any updated lists or any suggestions on where to find one?

I really appreciate any help and I think a lot of people would be interested in knowing more about this statistic.

...Here is the quick list of what is on that Handbook:

Share Domain
46.3% .com
11.9% .de
7.9% .net
6.7% .co.uk
5.1% .org
1.8% .info
1.5% .it
1.4% .biz
1.3% .nl
1.3% .cc

But remember this data is over 14 months old and does not include a lot of the new extensions that were added by ICANN.

Can anyone at all give me a hand or point me in a direction?
Thanks

Sorry, I have absolutely no idea where you would look for that, but I too would be interested in seeing the updated list.

Well that is three of us now...

You think Keith Pieper was just making an educated guess when he put this up years ago?

Is there any info as to the total number of domains registered? If we had that info, we could then break down what percentage of domains are regged per extension.

I searched a little and found these ...




Total number of sites (from Netcraft)
very interesting graph
you can actually see the bubble developing and the bust in 2001-2002 (if you exclude that "anomaly" , the growth of the internet seems to rather "normal")




number of .com , .net , .org , .biz , .info , .edu domains
from Zooknic (01/07/92 - 16/01/05)




and a 17/08/05 article from eWeek that contains some more recent percentages
