We passed 100,000,000 domains in April? Cool.

Thanks.
I will be adding .name coverage from 01/December/2008. At the moment the site provides stats and full domain hosting history over com/net/org/biz/info/mobi/asia/ie and partial over .eu and .co.uk. The stats for individual hosters along with graphs should be going online this week.

Sorry...I just could not recall who did this site.

It is a superb tool, JM. I recall having a discussion about the information and how it was so valuable in research number regged vs. number dropped from the same period on a year to year basis.

This was regarding the supposed .mobi "junk dump" that did not seem to marterialize. If I recall, we agreed that comparisons should be done on a percentage basis and not so much a raw number.

No problem Gerry,
It is more important that people remember the site.

The historical new/deleted trends are hard to see in totals. I've also got a few graphs on static domain counts (domains that haven't changed hosters during two zone files) that I have yet to add. The individual stats summary pages for hosters are taking precedence at the moment.

The Junk Dump is beginning to hit .mobi now but it is still not as extreme as many were expecting. The latest stats for .mobi as of today are:
.mobi domains: 926832
Deleted since 01/Nov/2008: 32418
New since 01/Nov/2008: 8812
.mobi as of 01/Nov/2008: 949460

WOW! How ambitious.

All the time put into this stunning tool thus far and still tweaking it.

And I thought I was a stats freak!

The scary part is the number of hosters that this database is tracking. Since 2000, it is about 2.5 million hosters. Though the ebb and flow of hosters and domains means that the current hoster list is only 1137537 for November 2008. The break down on the number of domains hosted (com/net/org/biz/info/mobi) is

Hosters - Domain Counts
11 1M+ (Super hosters like Godaddy etc.)
12 500K-999999 domains
78 100K-499999 domains
96 50K-99999 domains
537 10K-49999 domains
562 5K-9999 domains
3352 1K-4999 domains
4059 500-999 domains
28643 100-499 domains
29689 50-99 domains
144900 10-49 domains
241621 2-9 domains
641621 1 domains (one hit wonders)
36652 0 com/net/org/biz/info/mobi doms (typically ccTLD only hosters)

A one hit wonder is a hoster (a set of nameservers) that only answers for its own domain name.

All the time put into this stunning tool thus far and still tweaking it.

The domains history was the easy part. The SQL and database is all working and it is just a question of getting the PHP/html pages written.

And I thought I was a stats freak!

The danger point is when you begin to dream in domains and equations.
