In their news release announcing the milestone, which is quite remarkable in the ten months since it was relaunched, it is noted registrations have come from 181 countries.
The news release for the announcement is below.
Global Sensation - .ME Hits 200,000 Registered Domains
The Internet's most popular new domain name extension, .ME, now
includes a portfolio of two-hundred thousand names registered
worldwide.
This makes .ME the fastest growing new ccTLD launch on record!
OpenDoor.ME, registered in Fukuoka, Japan, was the name that pushed the registry portfolio to the new milestone.
The .ME domain extension has become quite popular in the United States
for both personal and business uses, but it is available and being
registered aggressively in many other parts of the world.
"The appeal for dot-ME domain names is truly global," said the
registry's executive director, Predrag Lesic. "Beyond the United
States, people and companies from countries such as Germany, France,
the United Kingdom and China are registering dot-ME domain names."
Some of the more than 181 countries representing the thousands of .ME
registrations include Canada, India, Australia, Israel, Spain, the
Netherlands and its originating country, Montenegro. Right now, more
than 100 registrars offer the top-level domain, which was introduced in
April 2008.
"Having hit 200,000 registered domains in a mere ten months signals to
us that dot-ME is seen as a valuable online asset," adds Lesic. "The
best part is there are still so many great names available, in every
language."
In October, the .ME Registry reduced the minimum requirement for a .ME
domain registration to one year, instead of the previous two-year
commitment.
