On June 5, a survey by VeriSign showed that the total number of independent domain names worldwide is now over 180 million.
According to foreign media reports, according to a rough estimate of versign company researchers, the total number of new domain registrations this year increased by 12% over the same period last year, reached 180 million.
The report shows that, in the top-level domain name (TLD),. com is still the most popular web suffix, but some country code domain names are also gradually being used, this year the increase reached 18%, the total reached 74.1 million.
The report also states that, in all country code domains, China's. CN is the most popular domain name, followed by Germany's. DE, while. NET is ranked fourth.
VeriSign noted that the rapid growth of domain names must be accompanied by an emphasis on IP address values and the necessary maintenance of the DNS system.
The researchers cautioned that a new challenge might be faced in the future, that the lack of new IP addresses would affect the Internet architecture, and that the current DNS system's gradual shift to the new IPV6 protocol would likely lead to a lack of IP addresses.
