Internet: Netherlands in Top 3 Biggest Domain Name Countries

The.nl-domain on the Internet has grown to be the third biggest country domain in the world. China has been overtaken by the Netherlands.

Last year, the number of domain names that ended up on .nl grew to nearly 5 million. This is 607,000 more than in 2010, says Hostnet, which registers domain names and carries out research on the registrations every year.

Hostnet says the number of Dutch domain names never before increased so quickly in a year. Only Germany (.de) and the UK (.co.uk) have even more registrations. China had hitherto come third, but this spot has now been captured by the Netherlands.
