Today EURid released its Q1 2020 Progress Report, sharing its quarterly statistics and developments. Highlights include:
- 190 011 new domain name registrations recorded, showing a 15 % increase compared to new registration in Q4 2019;
- Portugal tops the list of countries for growth at +64 %;
- The average renewal rate was 80.7 %
Total registrations increased from 3 606 311 at the end of Q4 2019 to 3 623 050 at the end of Q1 2020, an increase of 0.5 %. This can be attributed to higher registration rates due to COVID-19 related domain names and a continuous increase in Portugal, which is a result of local and external registrar promotions.
Main developments throughout the quarter included:
- The discounted Alternative Dispute Resolution procedure with CAC and WIPO prolonged until 30 June 2020.
- EURid assisted Microsoft and other partners with the takedown of the Necurs botnet through the use of our Abuse Prevention and Early Warning System (APEWS).
