I'm very curious what the stats are actually measuring...

Over six million hosts for South Africa? There are about 1.3 million ZA Domains. There were about 25% non-ZA domains in use in South Africa (4:1 ratio, ZA:Non-ZA) (the https://dnsstudy.africa project), so I'm guessing that there are a little less than two million domains in South Africa in total. So what does 6 Million hosts mean?

Many Domains do not have Web Sites, others have place holders (website coming soon messages).

Kenya just recently reached 100,000 domains and three years ago - there were more non KE domains than KE domains (5:4 ratio, non-KE:KE)...

Perhaps AFTLD needs to have the DNS Study re-run - and this time get as many ccTLD's to opt in (with Zone copies) as possible along with the Observatory (all of which I'd love to be involved with).

Look at https://dnsstudy.africa/AfricanDNSMarketStudyPresentation2017-06-23.pdf, slide 17 onwards for the recommendations.
(We still have all the code - etc!)

Also https://dnsstudy.africa/AfricaDomainNameSystemMarketStudy2016FinalReportVersion1.03h.pdf from page 147 (of 213) goes into various stats.

Hello,

Knowing the uptake of Ng in Nigeria(though still very far from desired number) I quickly checked locally and found that it seem the stats on isc may be grossly inaccurate. See the stats for .ng at:

https://www.nira.org.ng/nira-media/news-update/589-ng-domain-name-report-june-2020

Most likely the flaw will be applicable to other countries as well.

                Thank you for your reply. I suggest that you examine
                the link and come up with your own useful questions.

                I do not wish to single out any... so please I use
                only as one simple example, there are many many questions.

                I believe Nigeria is one of our largest populations
                and economies...
                yet the .ng domain has less than 2600 live hosts in 2019
                 ng            2563      10476   7913        154      
                 606  Nigeria

                compared with Egypt
                  eg         4989280    5004756  15476         39    
                   798    Egypt
                almost 5 million

                2600 and 5 million are clearly vastly different numbers!


            SO: Could you share the source of the stats?


        Alan had shared the link in his previous post.

                        Hi,

                        Just a quick note to say that I read this
                        wonderful brochure. Wow, so many investors and
                        sponsors, it makes us look good.

                        Unfortunately there are deep and significant
                        problems with aftld's that are not mentioned
                        or even alluded to.

                        The ISC domain survey has unfortunately ended
                        because the Internet has advanced on the
                        whole, globally.

                        This list does reflect where the problem areas
                        in Africa remain a BIG problem for Aftld's...
