It’s somewhat of a surprise that the United States’ own domain name extension, the .us, still isn’t home to more than 1 million names.
The count is up to 987,034, as of today. That’s 1,248 new names from the day before while in the same 24h period, 692 domains were deleted for a daily gain of 556 domains. Not bad but still, it’s a far cry from the .com’s gain, yesterday alone, of a whopping 561,137 new names registered… wow!
Is this a good time to remind you to buy your own domain name registry?
Maybe not but still, anyone would feel good about getting at least part of this bustling .com domain name growth.
The .com, .net and .biz domains are on the upswing with significant daily gains but the .org and .info are losing ground, fast. If you’re unsure about which domain suffix to use for your business, the .com is still “king of hill”.
The good news for the .us is that, if the numbers hold, there could be over 1 million domain names registered within a few weeks.
Let’s keep an eye on where things go with this emerging but nevertheless prestigious ccTLD.
