Whoa, that's a load of domains to manage and quite a bit to be in such a small group of hands.

Often times I wonder why
There's love and hate, theres live or die.
When sickness comes I must decide:
When feelings go, theres suicide.

I was going to say this did not seem likely based on the gross numbers but I have no idea how many domains are out there.Comment

5 registrars control like 70% of domains. I don't know if 5 registrants own 20% of the entire .com market. I find that hard to believe.
BuyDomains and UltSearch/that company that bought them would probably account for quite a chunk though.ICQ: 2262.73945Comment

That actually seems like a small portion, compared to some industries where a small number of companies control a majority of market share. (E.g., GM, Ford, and Chrysler have a 60% share of the US auto market, Dell and HP have a 50% share of the US PC market). On the other hand, quantity of domains doesn't correlate well with market share or revenue...Google, Amazon, Yahoo, eBay and similar companies are worth much more than the companies/people I know of with 100,000+ domains. Granted 100,000+ domains cost at least US$600K in renewals, so their income must be substantial, and their valuations are probably all still huge (as with UltSearch's tentative $164 million buyout), but they'd still be dwarfed by market caps of $50-70 billion of Google, Yahoo, and eBay.Originally posted by KRLWhoa, that's a load of domains to manage and quite a bit to be in such a small group of hands.
As far as managing the domains, all of the 100k+ domain holders I've seen tend to use a pretty automated landing page system for the bulk of their domains. I don't know as managing 100k is significantly harder than managing just a couple thousand. There are some things that can't be automated, for example inevitable legal issues with certain domains, or renewal/transfer issues if the domains are spread between a lot of registrars. But I think at that level, the owners have a lot of automation in place.
If that figure refers to the roughly 42 million .com/.net/.orgs, 1/35 of 40 million is 1.2 million, split between five people would be 240,000 domains each.Comment
