Website registration reaches record levels
Over five million new domain names were added to the internet in the third quarter of this year - the highest growth in registrations ever.
The VeriSign Domain Name Industry Brief found the total number of domain names registered topped 66.3 million, with .com still the most popular suffix and .uk names the fourth most registered.
It's the third quarter in a row of record growth for domain names, with an upturn in the economy and the advent of pay-per-click advertising thought to be driving the boom.
As well as the new entrants to the market, aged domain names aren't lying down yet - 72 per cent of previously registered domain names have been renewed and the number of live sites have increased by seven per cent on the previous quarter.
