The domain name registrations don’t seem to suffer from the financial crisis. Especially .cn, .de and .at names are doing great. In January 2009, there were over 14 million registered .cn names. The Chinese extension is doing an excellent job. Also the German extension is doing very well, with over 12,5 million registered .de names.
In January 2009, there were also over a 800.000 registered .at names. This ain’t bad at all for a country with a small population. The Austrian extension is also one of the easiest extensions to register because there are no special conditions or restrictions.
