“Public Interest Registry, the not-for-profit operator of the .org domain, today released the results of its bi-annual domain name report “The Dashboard,” detailing the worldwide growth of .org in 2014. The report reveals that the number of .org domain names registered in 2014 rose 1.3 percent, bringing the total domains under management (DUM) to more than 10,500,000 worldwide.
Other findings outlined in “The Dashboard” include:
Registrations in international markets continue to experience steady growth, including China with 2.9 percent, Spain with 1.6 percent and Japan with 2.9 percent of the total .org registrations worldwide
For the first time since 2010, Netherlands revisited the top 10 list of .org registrations by country.
In December 2014, 1.37 million .org, domain names were ¬live in Asia-Pacific, a 16 percent increase compared to December 2013.
Registrants are renewing their .org registrations at a rate of 81.6 percent for two years or more.
While .org continues to be used by organisations in nearly every field, information and management were identified as the top two industries supported by the domain, representing more than 35 percent of .org websites.
“Last year, we saw more and more organisations across the globe turn to the .org domain to communicate their missions, ideas and initiatives in support of the public interest,” said Brian Cute, CEO of Public Interest Registry. “While the U.S. has historically had the highest registration numbers, we’re seeing an incredible increase in .org registrations from international markets, and as a result, they now make up nearly half of all .org websites. Clearly, no matter where a business, organization or individual is located, .org will continue its legacy to bring people together around the world and serve as a reliable online venue.”
To help organisations make a stronger impact, Public Interest Registry is launching OnGood, a new suite of online services exclusively to serve the needs of noncommercial, non-governmental organizations (NGO) and non-profit communities across the globe. With OnGood, NGOs and nonprofits will have an exclusive community website with a searchable directory, and the .ngo and .ong domain bundle to help improve visibility, raise funds and connect with other organisations. OnGood will be generally available for registration on May 6, 2015.”

.REALTOR gTLD Seen As Struggling
Domain name registrations for the .realtor gTLD are way short of targets as the operator has given away 95,000 registrations to bona fide North American real estate agents, way short of its target of 500,000 domains it had initially planned to give away to members, according to a report on the Associations Now website.
Initially the National Association of Realtors (NAR) said it would provide the first 500,000 members who register for a .realtor domain with a free one-year registration, and their Canadian equivalent the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) 10,000 free domains to members, on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Registrations of the gTLD have been increasing by around 60 per day which the report notes would mean the NAR would take 18 years to reach its target.
According to the latest nTLDstats.com figures, there are 97,400 domains registered with registrations increasing by 391 in the past week.
One reason is the restrictions the NAR puts on registrants. One real estate agent has written [subscription] of her .com domain that she “[owns] the domain names and I own the hosting account. My business sites are backed up daily and can be moved with the greatest of ease if I need to. I make the rules on my own site and decide how to use it.”
The agent, Teresa Boardman from Minnesota, wrote she has no intention of registering a .realtor domain and that someone else can have her personalised domain that she’d be entitled to.
The restrictions, according to the .realtor website, on the gTLD mean registrants must use part or all of their first and/or last name as registered with the NAR or its Canadian equivalent. Something that many will not find appealing. And that may be a lesson – no matter how cheap a domain, if there are too many restrictions on registration it won’t be appealing.
