Posted on February 17th, 2010 by admin in Domain News | No Comments »

DNS.BE – the .be (Belgium) registry – today announced that last week they registered their 1,000,000th domain name.

The domain in question was boekee.be registered by Erwin Boekee who in turn was awarded 25 years of free registration by DNS.BE for his effort.

DNS.BE ended the year 2009 on 978,000 domain name registrations marking a 14% annual growth.

General manager Jo Van Gorp:

“The positive trend we saw in 2009 is clearly continuing this year as well. In January of this year we registered more than 24,000 new .be domain names, which is noticeably more than in the same month in previous years. The 1 millionth domain name is the result of the excellent reputation the .be domain has built up over the years, the enthusiasm and dedication of our employees providing DNS BE’s high-quality and innovative services, and our registrars’ strong campaigns.”

Interestingly, the first .be domain name was registered all the way back in 1989 by Professor Pierre Verbaeten of the computer sciences department of the K.U. Leuven. By the year 1994, only 129 domain names had been registered.
