It’s no contest that .com domains are the most popular ones today — over 71 million of them registered as of February 2008. We might also think that the .net domains will come in second. Well, according to EuropeRegistry, it looks like Germany’s country code Top Level Domain (ccTLD) has surpassed the dotNet TLD to get the second place globally.
The following list represents current statistics for several of the worlds most popular domains:

The numbers are based on February 2008 statistics. There’s no figure for the Philippines dotPH ccTLD but if I’d make a guess, it could be somewhere in the vicinity of Mexico’s 230,000.
At $35 a year, that’s an $8 million industry.

I’m in the .net category. Konti lng kami. hehe. Would have been glad to use .ph/.com.ph domains if pareho lng cla ng price ng .com! Poor Philippines.
No wonder wala ang .ph sa top ccTLD. Hehehe… :lol:
ang yaman na ng .ph
I wonder what .PH registration stats are at?
dotPH always seems to be scaling down in operations?
I accessed this post through your RSS feed, but the feed says “.be” while this one’s “.de”
Just a heads up. :)
