Montenegrin registry Domain.me has recently announced that more than
one million .ME domains have been registered since .ME's launch
in 2008.
.ME is reportedly one of the fastest-selling country code
top-level domains (ccTLD) in history, which has been attributed to
its great compatibility with English words. With domain names such
as Contact.ME, YouAnd.ME, Hotels4.ME, Pizza4.ME and Tickets4.ME,
this extension attracted many businesses and advertisers because of
its unique online marketing power. .ME has also become popular as a
URL shortener for some well-known companies, such as WordPress
(WP.ME), Facebook (FB.ME) and Time Magazine (TI.ME).
About 36 percent of .ME registrations come from the USA, but the
sudden increase in registrations was noticed last year when .ME
became popular in China. Approximately 30 percent of .ME users are
from China and according to some sources, it is the fourth most
popular domain in this country.
