The .Org registry released its bi-annual domain name report, “The Dashboard,” today and reported a higher growth rate for .Org domain names for the first six months of 2010, than .com or .net.
The .ORG domain grew by 7.6%, more than doubling last year’s first half gain of 3.2%.
This increase in registrations has brought .ORG’s total domains under management to 8.5 million.
The “Dashboard” other key findings:
- .ORG surpassed the growth of the two largest gTLDs — .COM and .NET — by posting a growth rate of 7.6%.
- 77.1% of organizations renewed .ORG domains for 1 to 3 years — an increase of 4% over 2009
- .ORG realized a 16.5% growth in the first half of 2010 for New Creates, staying on par with results posted from .COM and .NET.
- A .ORG content analysis showed that healthcare and education related domains had the most significant growth for 2010, increasing 6 percent and 13.6 percent respectively since 2009.
- North America and European Union (EU) continue to represent the regions with the most significant .ORG registrations, though China grew from 2 percent to 4 percent, and the Netherlands grew 1 percent to 3 percent in 2010.
probably, the increasing number of disgraces in the world (the “cool” Global Warming, wars, oil spill, etc.) increases also the number of people and “independent” .ORGanizations that talk about (or try to solve) them
Way to go .ORG
