Domain Distribution by Continent: 520 Million ccTLD Domains and the Map of Digital Inequality
We counted every country-code domain in our dataset — 520 million entries across 245 ccTLDs — and mapped them to continents. Europe holds 54% of all ccTLD domains with 280 million entries despite having 10% of global population. Africa holds 3.1% with 16 million entries despite having 18% of global population. Japan alone has more ccTLD domains than every African country combined. The data reveals a digital divide that is not closing — it is hardening.
