Announces growth by 50% with the discount promotion announced for registrars in July 2005, targeting developing regions like Asia and South America.


The Public Interest Registry (PIR), the registry for .org domain names, today announced that 5,000,000 .org domains are now registered worldwide.

The company says that the phenomenal growth experienced by the .org registry in 2006 reflects the continued increase in awareness, value and use of the .org brand, in addition to the success of .org registrars internationally.

In the beginning of July 2005, in an effort to increase Internet use by noncommercial organizations globally and promote the .org domain, PIR offered .org registrars discounts targeting developing regions of the world, including South America, Asia and Africa. The promotions have resulted in a 50 percent increase in .org domain registrations in the targeted regions.
