Speaking
of growth, .ORG, the popular TLD
operated by the Public
Interest Registry (PIR) is
continuing to gain ground despite
the arrival of a flood of new gTLDs.
On Wednesday PIR released its bi-annual
domain name report, “The
Dashboard,” detailing the
increased growth of .ORG throughout 2013.
The report said that |
|
|
206,542
new .ORG domains were registered from
January to December 2013, bringing the
total number of .ORG domains under
registration to more than 10,346,000
globally. |
Some
of the other interesting findings in The
Dashboard included:
·
The number of .ORG domains under registration
rew by 2.6% in 2013.
·
85% of .ORG registrants renew their
domains for at least three years or more.
·
The organizational make-up of the global .ORG
community remains diverse with the majority of
registrants (20%) representing Wiki
and open source-related causes.
·
Charities, schools, and recreational clubs and
groups are all equally represented with each
accounting for 8% of .ORG registrations.
One other note today - the Domainfest
conference coming up March 31-April 2014
in Hollywood, California has named
best-selling author, online business
entrepreneur and social media expert Gary
Vaynerchuk as its Keynote Speaker.
Vaynerchuk, who has nearly 1 million
Twitter followers, has been included on BusinessWeek’s
list of the “Top 20 People Every Entrepreneur
Should Follow.” He has also produced many
widely viewed YouTube videos including "Get
Off Your Ass & Get Noticed,” Future of
Social Media Marketing,” and “Care Immensely
or Die!”
