Press Release: Blacknight Sets Benchmark for Irish Hosting

We all like hitting milestones, so when I learnt that the most recent Hosterstats report had to say about our recent growth I was delighted. Not only are we continuing to grow, but we’ve become the first Irish hosting provider to break the 100k site hosted mark.

Not only that, but we now host more sites and domains than the combined size of the Irish webosphere of 2005:

That’s pretty cool 🙂

But let’s face it, pictures are so much easier to understand:

And what about all together ie. for other common domain extensions?

Carlow, July 16th 2012 – The July 2012 HosterStats are out and Blacknight continue to lead the pack in Irish hosting and domain registration.

According to the July 2012 Hosterstats (http://www.hosterstats.com) Hosted Domains Report, Blacknight (http://www.blacknight.com) is the first Irish hosting company to break the 100K mark in terms of domains hosted.

The registrar and hosting company, which is known for its innovation in the domain space serves 39% of the Irish market. Blacknight hosts more domains than any of its competitors.
