4 million .nl domain names registered

On August 18th 2010 around 12pm, the 4 millionth .nl domain name was registered. The domain name, tomgoesusa.nl, was registered by Tom ten Heerdt from Didam. SIDN (.nl registry) is very pleased with this 4 millionth registration.

With those 4 million registrations, the .nl extension is doing a very good job. There are only more names registered under the .de, .uk and .cn domain, which makes the .nl extension the 4th largest country extension worldwide. Considering the fact that the Netherlands count 16 million inhabitants, this means that 1 out of 4 Dutchmen has registered a .nl domain name. This makes The Netherlands the country with the highest domain name density.
