Domain Name Registration Tips

Here's a great article about domain name registration which should help you find out more about the best ways to register a new domain name, renew or transfer an existing registration, or just find a cheap domain registrar.

The number of registered domains has reached an all-time high of more than 60 million domain names worldwide. Figures show that country code Top Level Domains (ccTLDs) are the fastest growing market, while general demand for new domains remains strong. The most popular domains are still the com-domains. The growth of com-domains is tremendous. Experts think, that the growing sale of com-domains reveal a revival of the "New Economy". Some experts even argue, that this growth of domain names is an early indicator of persisting economic growth in the USA and the whole world. The com-domains remain the most popular domain with about a 45 percent market share. New generic Top Level Domains outside of .com, .net and .org, become increasingly popular, including aero-domains, biz-domains, coop-domains, info-domains, museum-domains, .name-domains and pro-domains.
