How Many Domains are There in The World?
TLD – top level domain. Seems like every time you look around there is a new TLD. Or another ccTLD is now offering their ccTLD as a sudo-gTLD. But there is not much known about them. the first basic question is how many exist in each TLD. Or what is the most used second level and how many exist there. (.CO.UK is a good example of a common slccTLD).
It is a good start to guess the TOP most used TLDs in the world and then visit their webpages to see if there are some stats. Some have them do, some don’t. For the ones that don’t have stats online but which are popular you can write the administrator. Most are very helpful in providing the domain counts. If the stats can be found online you can write a script that downloads the stats every 24 hours.
Here is a static snap shot of the top 25:
