Reglike Survey Results

2007 Reglike survey concludes; results to be released this stretch.

Thanks to everyone who participated in the 2007 Reglike survey. Greater than 300 domain name investors and service providers from 50 countries responded to the survey.

The results of the survey will be released in separate articles this stretch.

Ahead of providing the results, let’s take a look at who participated:

-17.4% of respondents own 1,000 or more domains
-84% of respondents consider themselves domain investors
-52% of respondents are in the United States
-The next biggest representation is Canada, with 7.2%

Results for the survey will be released in this order:

1. Domain registrars – what are the most notable factors when selecting a registrar? Which registrar is best?
2. Domain parking – which parking services are people using and which one is best? What “revenue per thousand views” (RPM) are domain owners earning? What will happen to this RPM in 2007?
3. Domain sales – where are prices headed? Which sales venues do people use and which one is best? How do people prefer to securely pay for domains?
4. Expired domains – which expiring name service do people use most often?
5. Other issues – what are the biggest threats to the domain name industry? How is ICANN performing?

50 respondents to the survey will be randomly selected to receive a free domain registration from Dotster. Winners will be notified shortly.
