I've been looking for stats for the total number of domains registered at certain points in the past, but haven't found anything beyond a list for the first 100 domains or the current totals of domains. What I'm looking for is something like the following (the number are just made up): In 1994 there were 100,000 domains registered. In 1995 there were 200,000 domains registered. In 1996 there were 500,000 domains registered. Does anybody know this - it doesn't need to be complete for all years - just enough to give a general picture .
norfstar... I got the current stats... http://www.webhosting.info/registries/global_stats/ Maybe you can contact them to give you the year wise breakup. There are other interesting stats out there, like which country has how many domain registered. http://www.webhosting.info/registries/country_stats/ Ani
Thanks aniani - the country specific stats are worth knowing . It's the number of old domains I'm really interested in - for example if I buy a domain that was registered in 1995, I'd be interested in knowing just how many domains there are that are even older.
