The Internet’s most popular new domain name extension, .ME, reached the number of two hundred thousand names registered worldwide.
This makes .ME the fastest growing new ccTLD launch on record.
OpenDoor.ME, registered in Japan, was the 200,000th .ME domain.
The .ME extension has become popular in the United States for both personal and business uses, but it is available and being registered aggressively in many other parts of the world, such as Germany, France, United Kingdom and China.
Some of the more than 181 countries representing the thousands of .ME registrations include Canada, India, Australia, Israel, Spain, the Netherlands and its originating country, Montenegro. Right now, more than 100 registrars offer the top level domain, which was introduced in April 2008.
“Having hit 200,000 registered domains in mere ten months signals to us that dot ME is seen as a valuable online asset”, said the registry’s executive director, Predrag Lesic. “The best part is there are still so many great names available, in every language.”
In October, the .ME Registry reduced the minimum requirement for a .ME domain registration to one year, instead of the previous two year commitment.
