Just another 6 million names...

Some big numbers!

More than six million names were added to the Internet in the fourth quarter of 2012, bringing the total number worldwide to a whopping 252 million-plus top-level domains (TLDs), according to the latest Domain Name Industry Brief from Verisign.

Meanwhile, country code top-level domains (ccTLDs) grew more than 5 percent quarter-over-quarter and 21.6 percent year-over-year, now totaling 110.2 million names.
