Going over our database I’m just got a funny question, are domains have some seasonality in registrations which influences the whole domainers, web design, SEO and other internet related companies and agencies. It’s pretty obvious that domain name is just a starting point for all that services all of us (IT techs) provide. So, I just created a python script to go over all whois DB we have and calculate the number of domains registered monthly for all the years, which came out in that figures:
Month | # Domains Registred |
Jan | 2,627,273 |
Feb | 8,467,117 |
Mar | 6,337,168 |
Apr | 4,611,584 |
May | 722,177 |
Jun | 685,520 |
Jul | 568,599 |
Aug | 482,043 |
Sep | 5,273,372 |
Oct | 6,130,079 |
Nov | 8,423,057 |
Dec | 3,234,322 |
Total in DB | 47,562,311 |
Just look at that chart! There are two peaks each year when people from all over the world are starting to register new domains, create websites and go over all that IT activities. Have that chart in mind when you are planning your web-focused business development or even vacations! It looks like IT guys are pretty lucky ones – you have a huge drop in that during summer, so most of you can close the companies and go to Hawaii for example for the whole summer. 🙂
