Domain Name Registrations Hit All-Time High
More than 4.7 million new domain names were registered during the first quarter of 2004--the most ever recorded in a three-month period, according to a report released by Mountain View, California-based VeriSign, which operates the global registry for Web addresses ending in .com and .net.
Source: PCWorldThat brings the total number of registered Web addresses to 63 million, approximately one for every 100 people living in the world, VeriSign says in a statement. In addition, VeriSign says renewal rates, look-up rates, and the percentage of domain names tied to live sites indicate that the current base of domain names is being used more actively than ever.
