80 new sites created per minute

There are now 183 million domain names registered across all Top Level Domains, a 3% increase over Q4 '08 and 12% over last year. This means that nearly 11.8 million new domain names were registered across all TLDs in the first quarter of 2009. That's 91 domain names registered per minute and if about 88 percent resolve to Websites, that would mean that roughly 80 new sites were created a minute or one a second.
