The recent changes to .cn ccTLD registration rules have had a massive effect on the number of registered .cn domain names. The figures for .cn ccTLD from December 2009 to February 2010 show a decline of approximately 3.9 million domains over the period.
.cn ccTLD Registrations:
December 2009: 13,459,133
January 2010: 12,280,081
February 2010: 9,535,120
.de ccTLD Registrations:
Dec 2009: 13,313,247
January 2010:13,387,668
February 2010: 13,465,456
The domain statistics on HosterStats show that the new regulations introduced by CNNIC, the .cn registry have had an effect on the registration volume of .cn domains. However there is also a possible effect from a low cost domain registration offer that was run during the 2008 Olympics. The .DE ccTLD is still maintaining its growth pattern and is now the largest ccTLD.

Domaining is based, in some respects, on a domain that is registered in one TLD being popular in other TLDs. So if a domain is registered in .com, .net, .org TLDs, then it may also be popular in .biz or other TLDs. The other side to this equation is the Intellectual Property protection. It used to be that the main TLDs that any business had to worry about were com/net/org but with the addition of new gTLDs, sTLDs and ccTLDs, that range of “must register” TLDs has grown. The comparisons below show how interconnected the main TLDs are in that domains that are registered in one may also be registered in others. There are also significant numbers of domains that only exist in one TLD. This Uniqueness varies according to TLD but the .com is the most unique TLD. The reason for that is partially due to domain name parking and speculation but also to .com/ccTLD pairs.
.com Cross TLD Comparison
.net Cross TLD Comparison
.org Cross TLD Comparison
.biz Cross TLD Comparison
.info Cross TLD Comparison
.mobi Cross TLD Comparison
.asia Cross TLD Comparison
.tel Cross TLD Comparison
These pages show for the first time, the “DNA” of each of these TLDs. It was carried out by comparing each domain (without the dot extension) in each TLD with each other TLDs.

Earlier this year, people were predicting that the dot mobi extension would be wiped out when it came to the Landrush Anniversary (26 September 2008). They were wrong.
As of this morning’s zone file (31 December 2008) , the .mobi count of 867629 is off only 9.54% since the Landrush Anniversary count of 959154. Purely on domain registration volume the dot mobi extension is doing much better than expected.
Traditionally the Landrush anniversary for any new Top Level Domain marks the start of the JunkDump phase. This is when the highly speculative domains registered during the landrush phase and failed to sell are dropped. Many of these domains are domains registered in the new TLD because they exist in .com or because they have a supposed rarity value. The classic example of how a TLD develops during the landrush phase is the graph of the dot asia growth for 2008 . It shows how the bulk of a TLD’s domain registrations occur in the first three months of a TLD’s opening for unrestricted registration.
The dot mobi extension was launched during the peak of the recent domain registration bubble. The .eu fiasco had just happened in April/May/June 2006 and dot mobi was another highly speculative venture but one with a far better management than that of .eu ccTLD. The two year initial registration period for .mobi landrush domains offset the JunkDump phase by a year.
Since 26 September 2008, 154006 dot mobi domains have dropped out of the zone file. But in that period 62481 new domains have appeared in the zone file. This in an indication that there is still a demand for .mobi domains. A number of larger drop catchers such as Snapnames.com and Pool.com have started providing .mobi dropcatching services.
The 2009 market for domain names is going to be tough and even .com will take a hit as PPC revenues fall. However with mobile internet becoming more popular, dot mobi could find itself pushed along with the trend. It will, like many other niche TLDs find itself under pressure and the negative growth will continue for a while yet.

Acquiring ccTLD domain name registration statistics is quite a different task from dealing with gTLDs like .com or .net etc. The gTLDs provide zonefile access and it is possible to build detailed and accurate statistical models of gTLD registrations. Some ccTLD registries publish their domain name counts. However for various reasons, the lack of zonefile access means that some ccTLDs are unknown territories. The statistics for 54 ccTLDs, including those of the super ccTLDs, have now been published on the HosterStats 2008 Domain Name Counts page. While some of the registries have yet to reply to requests for statistics, there is a very interesting trend developing in the numbers of ccTLD versus gTLD registrations - without domain tasting, the indications are that as a group ccTLDs are beginning to equal and perhaps outnumber new gTLD registrations. This does not mean that the ccTLDs will overtake the gTLDs any time soon. It does mean that without domain tasting, the market in some countries has shifted towards ccTLDs. As markets develop in other countries, they reach a point where the number of local ccTLD domains will exceed the number of locally registered .com and gTLD domains. This tipping point is linked to the market and the level of broadband penetration in that country.
