70 Million Internet Domain Names Have Been Registered says Web Hosting Provider and Domain Registrar Dotster |

April 28, 2006 – (HOSTSEARCH.COM) – Web hosting provider and domain registrar Dotster recently announced the likelihood that over 70 million Internet domain names have now been registered. According to the company, the rapid growth of domains may have a number of social consequences.
"While more and more businesses are taking advantage of the innovation and power offered by the Internet by registering domains, an equal number of individual users are registering for domain names as well. In fact, with the Internet becoming such a ubiquitous part of everyday life and commerce, one can imagine a day when every individual and every corporation will have a domain name just as they do a social security number or corporate tax ID," suggested Dotster Inc. Chairman, Mr. Kevin Kilroy.
Verisign reports suggest that 8.5 million new domains were registered in the 3rd quarter of 2005, up a third on the same time the previous year. Other reports have suggested that global Internet usage now exceeds 1 billion users. "While some may have the perception that all the good domain names are gone, the reality is that what we are seeing today is only the frost on the tip of the iceberg," added Kilroy. "It's still very much a buyer's market as far as online real estate goes. Years from now, those who have purchased and registered domain names today - whether for business or personal use - will look back at this time period as a golden opportunity to acquire the domain name of their choice and put their e-stake in the ground."
Mr. Kilroy went of the suggested, "Part of the growth in domain names is being fueled by small businesses such as an independent local grocer or dry cleaner that, by effectively establishing a presence on the Internet today, are building a foundation for their future while expanding their business reach and competing as never before. Companies like Dotster, who provide the full spectrum of domain name and web hosting services, enable small businesses to establish a powerful site quickly and more affordably than ever." |
