Tucows registers 4M domain names. Tucows Milestone: 4mm names in the bag.
Sometimes good ideas do translate into good businesses. This is a huge milestone for Tucows. We got into the competitive registration business officially in 1999 when we were accredited as a fully-fledged registrar by ICANN. Prior to that we were simply a reseller for Network Solutions who had a monopoly on all sales of .com, .net and .org.
We did our first competitive registration on January 12, 2000. We were 85th in the market according to DomainWatch. Last night, we registered our 4,000,000th domain name - one in ten gTLD registrations is managed through Tucows.
Thanks to the entire team, the last four years has been a blast and achieving little milestones like this here and there seems to indicate that the best is yet to come.

Congrats to Elliot and Ross and everyone at Tucows! 10% of that market ain't bad! I wonder who the 4Mth name was? Did they get a prize? [Marc's Voice]
