Domain Name Industry: Trends & future direction.
History of the domain name is intertwined with thatgrowth of the Internet . First . Com domain name was registered in 1985 and celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2010 . While the Internet wasborn almost two decades before the first domain name was registered , this event may have a point of inflection . This is because the domain name is assigned a unique IP- address, which consists of a long series of numbers , which is the basis of Internet communication and allows users to find it online . Because of the dynamic nature of the Internet , new trends in the domain name industry are frequent. 2011 , however, is expected to be a little bit different , as it willwitness some of the trends in the domain name industry, which may be one of the most significant since its inception . Read on to learn more about these trends and future directions.
. com is one of the most popular domain names
. com and . net top-level domains (TLD) reached a total of 105.2 million names
1 in late 2010 .In India . Com and . Net domain names reached a total of 1037000 domain name registrations
2.The total number of domain name registrations in India isestimated at 2.15 million
3 . These figures are , no doubt, a verymodest when viewed in the overall context - India has 100 million Internet –users
4 and almost 26 million micro, small and medium ( MSME ) businesses
5 in India.The number of Internet users worldwide is expected to reach 2.2 billion by 2013 and India is projected to have the third largest onlinepopulation besides time
6. The more users come online in the next two years, the Internet will become an even greater force , one that businesses can not afford to neglect . It may be , to provide the necessary impetus for a more MSMEs in India, in order toregister a domain name and build your business online identity .The Internet is becoming more secure - DNSSEC goes mainstream. Domain Name System Security Extensions (DNSSEC) is a big trend , as it makes the Internet more secure by protecting the DNS, the Internet's addressing system , which is one of the most important components of the Internet infrastructure . DNS is vulnerable to a number of threats , including man - in -the-middle attacks and cache poisoning . These two threats touse fake data to redirect Internet traffic to fraudulent websites and unintended addresses. DNSSEC were included on . Com TLD in the beginning of this year, which is almost 80 million registered domains
7. Security extensions apply digital signatures to DNS data to authenticate the origin of the data and the People verify its integrity as it moves across the Internet. Adoption of DNSSEC budetosnovnym object of attention until 2011. Domain ownerscan take the initiative to add some extra security in their field, using the tools provided by their domain name registrars , while inventories and to help educate registrars with rolling out DNSSEC services within the domain name registration process . Adoption of IPv6. Until the end of 2011 , the Internet's addressing system will experience perhaps one of the most significant changes since its inception . Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is the IP- address of the next-generation standard intended to supplement and eventually replace , the IPv4 protocol most Internet services use to guide on the internet today . IP address uniquely identifies every computer , smartphone or other device connected to the Internet. With a 32-bit address space IPv4, the total number of IP- addresses at approximately 4.3 billion , a figure thatseemed to be more than enough at the time that IPv4 wasdeveloped in the early 1980s , but not today with more than a billion Internet users and literally billions of Internet-connected devices . Agencies responsible for distributing IP address space is the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) and the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA). IANA allocates IP- addresses to five regional registries , which in turn distribute addresses to ISPs. The last block of the remaining addresses were allocated registers in February 2011.
8. Although regional registries still have IPv4 addresses in their inventory , not " new " IPv4 is not addressed can be created. IPv6 solves this problem deficit problems using 128 - bit addressing , creating a massively more addresses - 340 trillion trillion trillion - Many people believe that over the Internet you will need for decades. Over the Internet , access and infrastructure providers , service operators and content providers are increasing readiness to deploy IPv6. June 8, 2011 , IPv6 will make its debut test on that day was appointed World IPv6. Until the end of 2011 another important change may be the introduction of potentially hundreds of new gTLDs to the naming system . ICANN is nearing completion of its plan of launching the gTLD , and can begin processing applications as early as mid-2011. A few months after launch - perhaps early 2012 - Internet users may very well have your choice of an unprecedented set of top-level domains , from consumerareas such as shopping and banking geographical ones like New York and London. International Decade of the Internet began.
9. Over the past have already become international desyatiletieInternet your audience and provided a platform for services other than those intended for speakers of languages based on Latin. In 2000 , the number of users in Asia was on a par with Europe and North America , today it has more than these two continents combined.
10. Today , in English speakingworld is less than 40 percent of internet users . In the next decade , the Internet will continue to become widespread , multi-cultural tool , in part through the adoption of Internationalized Domain Names (IDN). IDNs make the Internet more accessible to non-English speaking countries and local communities , allowing users to access the Internet in their own language .
Historically , domain names contained ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange ) characters, ie domain names using the Latin alphabet (a, b, c ... z) , numbers ( 0, 1 ... 9) and hyphen (-) . In October 2009, ICANN announced thelaunch of IDN country code areas that will be written entirely in the local language. In January 2011, approved the application ICAAN India launch of internationalized cube areas in the National Internet Exchange of India (Nixi)

Register website in theseregional languages are expected to be available in the second half of 2011.Verisign is committed to upholding the vision of a unified global Internet, which is equally accessible to all users. IDN software developers Consortium works to integrate IDNs in all applications. We invite all our colleagues in the space to participate in this critical effort. Stay tuned to this space , as these trends are evident in 2011 . These progressive innovationsmade possible by the tireless efforts of the Internet community , who work together to ensure that 2011 will be remembered as a historic day for assistance in securing the stability, security and growth of the Internet .
