.id joins the million-domain club

Indonesia’s .id appears to have become the newest ccTLD to be able to boast that it has passed the one million registered domains mark.

PANDI, the local registry, is reporting on its web site that it currently has 1,073,779 registered domains. According to my database, it passed a million on November 14.

At a time when many TLDs are shrinking, .id is adding new regs at a rate you’d normally associate with a heavily discounted new gTLD. It’s grown by over 100,000 names net in the last year and reports on its web site it’s added almost 400,000 gross over the same period.

.id uses a three-level structure, which over a dozen extensions to choose from, such as .co.id, .net.id and .or.id. While second-level regs are also available, .my.id is the most-popular option, with a little over a third of all registered names.

Indonesia is the fourth-largest nation in the world by population after India, China and the USA. It has about 277 million inhabitants of whom an estimated 69% have internet access.

There are at least 40 TLDs that can currently count their domains under management in seven figures or more.
