<p>Over six million hosts for South Africa? There are about 1.3
million ZA Domains. There were about 25% non-ZA domains in use in
South Africa (4:1 ratio, ZA:Non-ZA) (the <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://dnsstudy.africa">https://dnsstudy.africa</a>
project), so I'm guessing that there are a little less than two
million domains in South Africa in total. So what does 6 Million
hosts mean?</p>
<p>Many Domains do not have Web Sites, others have place holders
(website coming soon messages).<br>
<br>
Kenya just recently reached 100,000 domains and three years ago -
there were more non KE domains than KE domains (5:4 ratio,
non-KE:KE)...</p>
<p>Perhaps AFTLD needs to have the DNS Study re-run - and this time
get as many ccTLD's to opt in (with Zone copies) as possible along
with the Observatory (all of which I'd love to be involved with).<br>
</p>
<p>Look at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://dnsstudy.africa/AfricanDNSMarketStudyPresentation2017-06-23.pdf">https://dnsstudy.africa/AfricanDNSMarketStudyPresentation2017-06-23.pdf</a>,
slide 17 onwards for the recommendations.<br>
(We still have all the code - etc!)<br>
<br>

</div>
<div>I do not wish to single out any...
so please I use only as one simple
example, there are many many
questions.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I believe Nigeria is one of our
largest populations and economies...</div>
<div>yet the .ng domain has less than
2600 live hosts in 2019</div>
<div> ng 2563 10476
7913 154 606
Nigeria<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>compared with Egypt</div>
<div> eg 4989280 5004756
15476 39 798 Egypt</div>
<div>almost 5 million</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>2600 and 5 million are clearly
vastly different numbers!</div>

<div>Unfortunately there are
deep and significant

<div>The ISC domain survey has
