It isn't often a domain name story makes it to slashdot...

IO ERROR writes "VeriSign announced that 5.1 million new domains were registered in the third quarter of 2004, and that there are now 66.3 million active domain names, both the highest numbers ever. It also said that the percentage of domains registered to live Web sites has increased and country code top-level domains are becoming more widely accepted."

Gee, I wonder if it had anything to do with the free .info domains....

http://dailychanges.com/ only shows 46 million here. Grant it that these are only the TLDs but is there really 21 million in others?

Yes...

.DE alone reportedly has several million.
