Dear John For me this information is really valuable to start conversations with our SIDS communities about how much they value their cctld and where they see gtlds featuring in their futures. SIDS performance wrt their cctlds is quite pitiful really, but as we found when .au called meeting of those Pacific managers who were attending the APNIC meeting in Wellington, last year. They have no idea about how to manage the cctld they have been given charge of, nor how to cope with the increasing security issues etc. Even though many belong to regional NOGs, Im sure that they get upskilled on the technical side of their ISP management but as for customer needs and service for websites, registrants are left on their own, because our small ISP managers themselves are not coping and aren't offering the security services new website owners need to make their services trustworthy. Its a never ending cycle. But we have to start somewhere. Thank you for your valuable information. Maureen On Mon, 12 Jan 2026, 18:47 John McCormac via CPWG, <cpwg@icann.org> wrote:

Some countries with large transnational web hosting providers and CLoud hosting have larger numbers of gTLD websites. Large Chinese Cloud hosters use US IP ranges qne Singaporean (SG) ranges. A lot of this is due to the shortage of IPv4 addresses.
Most European countries have very strong ccTLDs which are often two or more times the size of the locally registered .COM domain names. The transnational web hosting providers can often skew the figures for some countries especially when Parking is taken into consideration. Some web hosting providers are using Cloud hosting for their services along with their own web hosting ranges. Most of the Cloud hosters provide details on the country of their IP addresses (Geofeed) so it is not unusual to see large Cloud operations having IPs associated with many countries. Some of the larger web hosting providers also have IP ranges associated with countries outside their main country. Some IP addresses are flagged as EU. They are often the ranges of large hosters.
