Top 1000 Hosters Have Over 84 percent of domain market

The top 1000 webhosters have over 84% of the domain market. In the HosterStats.com Top 1000 Hosters report  for October 2011 shows that the top 1000 hosters in each TLD tracked have just over 84% of the market in the com/net/org/biz/info/mobi/asia/us TLDs.  In the newer TLDs such as .mobi and .asia, that concentration of domain names is over 93%.

While these TLDs are relatively mature, they may have some indications for how the new gTLDs will fare. The key issue is that Godaddy has significant market position and if any new gTLD is targeting the North American market, it has to have this company as a flagship registrar. It has 23.48% of the domains in com/net/org/biz/info/ie (BIONIC) on its domaincontrol.com nameservers.
