Portfolio Holder Report by AusRegistry

[Mark]

Hi All

AusRegistry has allowed us to publish one of their presentations from the recent registrar conference they hosted on the Gold Coast. The presentation we were super keen on is "Portfolio Holders", which they classified as a registrant with over 50 domains...domainers as much as anything.

Hope you find it interesting...the pdf is on our blog:

[DomainNames]

http://www.netfleet.com.au/blog/wp-...r-Conference-2012-Portfolio-Holder-Report.pdf

good report but more than 10% of names are held by "domainers".. just to the mathematics.

The major growth of the .au namespace has been people choosing to invest in multiple domain names ( domainers) as the value of domain names keeps increasing and the aftermarket is now growing fast.

The report highlights the importance of domainers to the au market.

January 2008 there were 612 Portfolio Holders entities, and there are now currently 1,927

Industry volume of Portfolio Holder has increased 315% from Jan 2008 to Jan 2012

Single Registrant entities with 50-99 associated domains have increased by 322% since 2008

Single Registrant entities with 100-499 associated domains have increased by 340% since 2008

The largest portfolio holder has 31,547 domains registered against a single Registrant entity www.omg.com.au Fairfax Media

Some Single Registrant entity portfolios are held by related legal entities.

Obviously when auda changed some of its old policies to catch up with the rest of the world the .com.au market has gone crazy. Most of the policy changes such as multiple names for person/ entity, monetisation, resale etc nearly all happened due to years of input from several large portfolio holders / domainers. Auda got smart relaxed and changed the rules... and now they get more money also from the increase in names registered / renewed / transferred. ( auda gets a fee from every name renewal or transfer)

Glad you enjoyed the read all.
