Afilias releases annual .info report

Afilias, the registry for the .info domain, has released its 2009 report on the TLD. The full document may be viewed at this location, but here’s a quick run-down:

• Out of all the TLDs, .info is the seventh-most popular.
• It makes up 40% of all new TLD registrations.
• There are currently more than 5.3 million registrations.
• The domain is most popular in North America and Europe, where 61% and 23% of its registrations originate respectively.
• Asia is a growing market for .info. Currently, the region owns 11% of its names.

Part of .info’s success is no doubt due to its very low registration fee, which is often as low as $1 USD. As fas as I’m concerned, however, .com is still king.
