REGISTRATION OF INTERNET DOMAIN NAMES UP, SAYS INDEX
By Adnews Staff
Canadian companies and other organizations are continuing to stake out their pieces of the Internet, according to an index compiled by Internet Light and Power, a Toronto-based Internet service provider. The figures show that the number of registered Internet domain names in Canada has almost doubled in the last six months. A domain name is a unique ID that often serves as a company's website or email address. As of the end of March 1997, a total of 76,098 domain names had been registered in Canada. About 39% of those are in Ontario, 31% are in B.C., 15% are in Quebec, and the rest are divided between the Prairies and the Maritimes. All the domain names in Canada put together make up about 8.4% of the world-wide total.
