Internet domain names are one of the best ways of
locating the use of the Internet geographically. (See the overview
section for more details on this argument) Domains come in two main type generic
top level domains (gTLDs), i.e. .com, .net, and .org and
country code top level domains (ccTLDs), .e.g. .de or .uk. Since most countries
outside of the United States make extensive use of their ccTLD it is important to include
both types in any comparative analysis.
The number of domain names around the world has grown
tremendously over the past two years from 3.3 million in July of 1998 to 33.0 million as
of January 2001. |
Please note: The Jul-00 and Jan-01 figures are revised as
specified here.
Data for this graph |

urban areas. The top five metropolitan regions of the world - New York, Los Angeles,
San Francisco, London and Washington DC - account for 17.7 percent of the total domains. |
