The year ended with a total of 177 million domain name registrations across all of the Top Level Domains (TLDs), representing 16 percent growth against 2007. In the fourth quarter of 2008 alone, more than 10.1 million new domain names were registered across all TLDs. The five largest TLDs in terms of base size were .com, .cn (China), .de (Germany), .net, and .org.
