Look at domain name data — DataGenetics’ fascinating
Slicing and dicing domain name data.
This in-depth post from DataGenetics is a couple months old, but a reader just sent it to me today.
It’s a fascinating look at domain names. Some of the findings help you draw conclusions regarding the domain market while others are purely interesting.
Did you know…
* Of the 102.8 million names in .com space, only 12.54% of these same names are also registered in .net namespace. Of the 15 million registered .net domains, 86% are registered in .com.
* The median length of a .com domain is 12 characters. It’s 11 for .net.
* There are 26,169 palindrome .com domains
* Just over 9% of .com domain names contain at least one numeric character.
* 11.8% of .com domains have a dash
* e is the most popular letter found in domains, but s is the most popular letter to both start and end a second level domain
There’s some really interesting stuff in here. Check it out.
