DNS Belgium published a market survey which showed that 2020 saw a substantial increase in the number of .BE domain name registrations.
These changes are directly linked to the COVID-19 pandemic and its lockdowns that have prompted a shift to online pastimes and other e-business opportunities.
The market survey also revealed that the profile of the average Belgian domain name registrant has changed.
Previously registrants have mostly been “business-minded professionals”, whereas people from all backgrounds have now become more interested in registering domain names.
