Name Wire Survey Results — 2009 Domain
A look at some of the results from the 2009 Reglike survey.
Today during lunch at Domainer Mardi Gras I presented some of the results from the 4th annual Reglike Survey. The results I shared were mostly related to risk management and security (the focus of the conference). More results will be released on Reglike in coming weeks.
You can view the presentation here (pdf).
To summarize:
Registrars: the most notable things people consider when choosing a registrar are 1) security and 2) price.
Domain parking: although 45% of people thought a year ago their domain parking earnings would go up in 2008, only 16% of people actually noted higher results. 45% of people noted their earnings declined.
Domain sales values: Regarding a third of people think domain values will go up in 2009, with similar percentages think they’ll stay the same or go down.
ICANN Satisfaction: The percentage of people that say ICANN is doing a good job has decreased from regarding 33% in 2006 to less than 15% in 2009.
Fresh TLDs: Only 20% of people surveyed are in favor with ICANN going forward with its current plan to introduce fresh TLDs.
