A few days ago the millionth .se domain name was registered. Obviously, the Swedish registry is very pleased about this. The registrations of .se domain names rose quickly after the rules for registering a .se domain name have been relaxed in 2003. From then on, it was also possible for indivduals to register a .se domain name. This turned out to be a great move, since between 2003 and 2004, the number of active .se registrations doubled (from 106.349 to 214.389) and in 2006 there were already 500.000 .se domain names were registered. Now, in October 2010, the milestone of 1 million names has been reached.

Also the Russian registry has reason to be pleased. On Monday October 4th 2010, they sent out a message to inform everyone .ru registrations had exceeded the milestone of 3 million registrations. Of course the Russian registry is very excited about this. The growth of .ru domain names rose significantly since 2006 and especially in 2008 when over 700.000 new .ru domain names were registered.
