The net-domain - backbone of the web

The net-domain - the backbone of the web

We do not always realize, that figures are just quantity and can
deceive about quality.

In spite of the fact, that the net-domain is only the No. 4 in
terms of the number of domain names registered, it works as a
backbone of the web.The net-domains build the largest Top Level
Domain by number of hosts, or machines connected to the
Internet. More than 44 percent of name servers use net-domains.
We presume, that programmers and other technical experts have a
more narrow emotional relationship to .net than to .com. Their
sympathy for .net is just greater than for .com. Historically
.net was once reserved for providers. This might have still an
influence to the technical use of .net and the importance of
this use. Every programmer and hostmaster has an idea of .net,
but not every programmer and hostmaster has an idea of .com. In
some way .net stands for the web.

Other facts: -- 31 percent of all page views are dependent on a
net-domain for resolution -- 32 percent of all B2C e-Commerce in
2004 is dependent on a net-domain for resolution.
