The latest issue of the VeriSign Domain Name Industry Brief reports that the third quarter of 2007 ended with a total base of 146 million domain name registrations worldwide across all of the Top Level Domain Names (TLDs). This represents a six percent growth over the second quarter and 31 percent growth over the same quarter last year. The total base of ccTLD registrations was 54.6 million, a six percent increase quarter over quarter and a 38 percent increase year over year. Reviewing the total base of registrations in both global TLDs and ccTLDs, .COM has the highest base with the next two spots remaining unchanged with .DE (Germany) and .NET rounding out the top three. This quarter, .CN (China) moved solidly to the fourth spot. This leaves the fifth spot to be shared by .UK (United Kingdom) and .ORG with approximately the same number of total domain name registrations.

.COM and .NET TLDs – Now Separate Products in the LogicBoxes System
Adapting to the recent gTLD pricing changes, we have split the .COM and .NET TLDs such that pricing for each TLD can be set independent of the other.
As the 2 TLDs are now priced very differently, we believe that this split should help you offer .NET domains at a much lower price as compared to .COM domains.
We recommend that you change your .NET pricing right away, and begin offering the TLD at a better price to your customers and resellers.
For more information on how to change your pricing, please click here.
We hope that our efforts will help you offer a competitive proposition in the price sensitive domain market.
As always, please feel free to contact your LogicBoxes Account Manager for any further assistance that you may need.
