Well, I originally planned on dumping the number of .com, .net, and .org domain names that my competetion's nameservers were responsible for, each day, to determine how many new domains they got or lost each day. But it took nearly a day for the process to run, so I think I'll have to do it once a week instead.

But there was some interesting stats:

Interland actually seems to have the most, because they bought hostpro that owns nameserve.net.

Followed closely by earthlink and valueweb (who also hosts the most hate sites).

Seems like the most parked domains is idirections.com (namezero), mydomain.com (never heard of them), and some domain name speculators.

Looks like godaddy is more popular than enom.

Well I'll stop with the commentary, see for yourself. The results are below.

If you want to see how many .com, .net, and .org domains a nameserver is responsible for, I've set up a little query form at:

So... I am logging the queries, with the intent of adding the most popular searches to the page, and possibly the last 5 searches and I see a lot of people trying to guess our nameserver names. Just do a whois, will ya! :rolleyes:
