.IE and .ORG stats out today

Hello there,

Thought I’d recommence blogging here today with a roundup of some newly released stats from the .ie registry and the .org registry.

Key numbers include:

  • Registrations for .ORG grew 11%, up to 7.69 million total registrations in the first half of 2009, compared to a year ago
  • This growth rate outpaces other well known Top Level Domains (TLDs) such as .com and .net
  • The UK is number two in .ORG’s top ten markets
  • A total of 9,398 .IE domains were registered in Q3, up 15% on the same period last year
  • In the first nine months of the year, new registrations of .IE at 28,522 are up by over 7% compared to the first nine months of 2008
  • The growth in .IE registrations is from sole traders or limited companies, states the IEDR report, who account for, the majority (83%) of registrations in Q3

I’ll be back on October 14th – let me know if there are news/topics/issues you’d like me to discuss!

Best wishes,

Nora
