Second level domain space continues to grow.
Verisign released and announced its latest quarterly domain name report at an odd time this quarter — 4 pm on a Friday.
That’s usually the time you release bad news you don’t want people to hear about, so it’s kind of odd for a marketing piece.


Total Domain Name Registrations

New Registration Growth

So here’s my Monday morning coverage of highlights:
- Q1 closed with 233 second level domain registrations, and increase of 7.5 million over the previous quarter.
- Some of the 7.5 million additional were just counted for the first time: IDN ccTLDs launched through Verisign’s “Fast Track” program. At the end of the quarter there were 808,967.
- ccTLD registrations hit 94.9 million domains. There was no change atop the leaderboard. The most registered is .de, followed by .uk and .tk.
