Does anyone know anything about the adoption rates for these alternate DNS roots? I noticed you can purchase a Top Level Domain (TLD) in the public root for about $1,000/yr as opposed to ICANNs $185,000. Is there any chance of the public root tlds being widely adopted? Despite a lot of searching, I've had trouble finding any decent answers.
- duskwuff 14y agoAdoption rates? I don't have any exact numbers, but I'm guessing they're basically zero. Most end-users just use their ISP's caching nameservers, which will almost certainly be using the ICANN root. Even if an end-user decides to change their nameservers, it'd probably be to a service like Google anycast (e.g. 8.8.8.8) or OpenDNS.
