This a post I put on the blog which provides the figures from 2007: Top Irish Web Hosters - June 2007 - WhoisIreland Review I may get around to posting some recent figures later today. I've been a bit busy putting together a database of all com/net/org/biz/info etc domain registrations/deletions/movements since 2000 along with the statistical record of every hoster since 2000.

Övriga .eu domäner är inaktiva, vidarebefordrar till en annan domän, parkerade eller liknande. Det är en nedgång från en tidigare undersökning, som visade att 22 % av .eu domänerna var aktiva/unika.

I’m not as down on the whole thing as John McCormac is in his article where the following really sums it up: “The incompetence of Eurid management is quite staggering. How a bunch of people who had only ever run a third rate, mickey mouse ccTLD ever got the contract to run the .eu ccTLD is a mystery. The result was the mess that is .eu ccTLD.” [...] […] I regularly get asked my opinion on .eu domains and I’m afraid it’s not positive.
