Associated Press: The sales of the “.org” domain – the Internet address for most nonprofit organizations – are growing faster in India than any other major nation, a top manager for the domain said. Although India now accounts for less than 1 percent of the users registered with “.org” worldwide, new Indian users of the domain are growing at a pace matched by few countries, said Edward G. Viltz, the president and chief executive of the Public Interest Registry, the Reston, Va.-based nonprofit agency which manages use of the “.org” address.
The number of “.org” domain users in India increased 31 percent in the past nine months from a year ago, compared with 9 percent in China and 5 percent in South Korea, Viltz said. Currently, there are 4 million “.org” users worldwide, 90 percent in the United States and Europe. In India, there are about 34,000.
