I've been working on some domain stats comparing ccTLD growth with gTLDs. The gTLD figures (com/net/org/info) are those for 01/June/2010. The ccTLD figures are those for the end of May 2010. What a lot of people with a purely gTLD focus don't realise is that there is life outside of .com TLD. The top 10 ccTLDs on their own had over 47 million domains registered at the end of May 2010. Adding the ccTLDs with over one million domains registered brings the ccTLD figure up to just over 59 million domains. The .cn figure has been falling month on month but it is still the number three ccTLD. What's really strange is the number ten TLD.

com: 87,528,607
.de: 13,692,618
.net: 13,067,210
.uk: 8,533,377
.org: 8,312,156
.cn: 7,620,043
info: 6,320,784
.nl: 3,920,715
.eu: 3,214,556
.ru: 2,842,784

The .biz gTLD with 2,055,934 does not make it into the top ten TLDs.
