There are now more than 4.86 million domain names registered in the
Latin American region, an increase of 1.86 per cent since August and a
17.40 per cent increase year-on-year.
The largest growth in registrations in September was in the country
code Top Level Domain for Brazil (.BR) with total registrations growing
by 39,496. This was followed by Argentina (.AR – 31,872), Mexico (.MX –
9,806) and Chile (.CL – 3,923).
However on a percentage basis, the ccTLD that showed the greatest
growth was Anguilla (.AI) where there was an astonishing increasing in
registrations of 1,348 per cent, although this was too the very modest
total of 391 registrations. This is reflected by a change in a change
in the ccTLD’s terms and conditions with registration of .AI domain
names now open to all and not just residents of Anguilla as before.
Following was Guadeloupe (.GD – 4.53%), Mexico (2.79%) and then
Guatemala (.GT) and Uruguay (.UG), both with a monthly increase of 2.68
per cent.
Overall, the top five ccTLDs in total registrations remained the same
as before. These were .AR with 2,001,844 registrations, .BR
(1,848,161), .MX (361,597), .CL (259,914) and .VE (152,799). These were
the only five ccTLDs with registrations above 100,000 in Latin America.
