| Over 72% of today`s domain names now lead to an actual web site |

This can't be true. Their definition of actual web sites must be pretty low on the standards scale. I would guess at least 50% of those 63 million are affiliate, under construction, or coming soon "web sites."

Or, "this domain for sale" redirects that are hosted by the domain registrar.

Based on my trying to find a new domain... about 75% are probably squatted

Sqatting is a bad term, but I do agree a lot of people/companies buy things up in bulk. Amazingly enough, with my last 3 projects, I've had no problems buying .com domains. I guess there are just THAT many combinations out there.

So I guess that means it's a 300-1800 million dollar market. Wonder what the average yearly registration fee is? Wish it was priced like gas and it was revenue neutral, just a loss leader for the other services.. By the way the home page doesn't seem to be properly redirecting to this thread..

They're kidding right? I've never heard such an obviously wrong statistic before.

If you count redirects, parked pages, "coming soon", then yes. Almost every domain name has something like that now. Otherwise it is off by a significant amount.

The figure of 63 million - does this include all country domains? Verisign will have data for .com .net .org etc, but how do they get the numbers for all the independant country registrars? - counting domains in dns?

Sounds like another year or so and it'll be a good time to start selling of my the names I've been aquiring during the recession. :)

that must be false! I have 4 domain names for one small site... and I don't think I'm alone here.
