There are now over 14 million registered new gTLD domain names. What makes this figure more notable is that the registration number just passed 12.5 million registrations 3 weeks ago on February 10. There has been a clear spike in domain name registrations over the last several weeks.
My opinion is that this rapid growth is at least partially due to the low cost of new domain names, with the registration fee for quite a few extensions hovering at around $1/each. It will be interesting to see if registries continue with the low pricing model when it comes time for renewals, and if the prices are increased, it will be interesting to see what happens with renewals.
