Hi Remy
Other stat - very - interesting, is that about 84 million names analyzed. COM and. NET Verisign calculates:
67% of sites are multiple pages
22% have a page, or 18.5 million parking spaces, presumably ...
11% have no page / website
So if we consider the 162 million sites all extensions together, it can be argued that there would be at least 20 million names in car without much risk of being wrong ...
Are you agree or do you think the actual numbers of car are more subtle?

Hi Jean-Marie
It is probably beyond 20 million parked domain.
According to stats and webhosting.info Part parked domain with DNS, we had approximately the following numbers in May:
- Sedo.com: 2,000,000
- DomainSponsor: 2,000,000
- Fabulous: 1,500,000
- Hitfarm: 1,000,000
- Parked: 900,000
- BuyDomains: 800,000
- NameDrive: 500,000
- TrafficZ: 400,000
It is almost 10 million has nothing on these sources ...
... Or:
- I have not counted some 10 players in the "minors" at least 400,000 units
- It is that parked domains by DNS. Half of the areas being herded around by URL, add double.
- Need to add pages registrar-car ... still easily 3-4 million
- I think the "car lover pages" is easy to figure 5 million
We turn therefore more likely around 40 million as of 20 imo.
