We constantly analyze domain information to better understand the internet and manage security risk factors. We like URL indexing versus total domain registrations in evaluating the popularity of TLDs because actual indexed pages are a better judge of created content. While .com has remained the most popular destination on the web since inception, there are over 1500 TLDs vying for attention today.
