Have you ever thought how many web domains there are in the world? According to the recent report from VeriSign, the third quarter of 2010 closed with a base of more than 201.8 million domain name registrations!
The largest Top Level Domains (TLDs) in terms of base size are, in order, .com, .de (Germany), .net, .uk (United Kingdom), .org, .info, .cn, .nl (Netherlands), .eu (European Union) and .ru (Russian Federation).
More details:
The total number of Internet users jumped more than 500 percent, but the growth was even more explosive in international regions. Africa had less than 5 million Internet users a decade ago. Now, it has more than 100 million. And while in 2000, the number of users in Asia was essentially even with Europe and North America, today it has more than those two continents combined.
