Meet DirectNIC.
You might find the registration statistics of DirectNIC somewhat interesting. DirectNIC registered more than 8.4 million domain names in April 2006, but only permanently registered ? or paid for ? 51.4 thousand of those. The trend was the same in March, when DirectNIC registered 7.6 million names and only permanently registered ? or paid for ? 52.5 thousand. Whatever could DirectNIC be doing? Why are they dropping and re-registering all those names ? again ? and again ? and again?
