Working it out is a lot more complicated than it looks. The current number of .ie domains is 103241.
They would be ordered as follows:
(combined Irish market = com/net/org/biz/info/ie)
Hosting365.ie: 16.37% combined.
Blacknightsolutions.com: 8.81% combined.
Novara.ie: 6.36% combined.
Irishdomains.net: 4.72% combined.
Eircom.net: 4.52% combined.
Letshost.ie: 5.8% combined.
Webhostingireland.ie: 3.5% combined.
Digiweb.ie: 4.1% combined.
Hostireland.com: 2.85% combined.
Webhost.ie: 2.44% combined.
It is more complicated because these hosters often host across different nameservers. Digiweb and Novara still have not merged completely in statistical terms. Hosters can sometimes claim nameservers on their IP ranges in cumulative market share. The main growth each month is limited to a few top hosters (Hosting365, Blacknight, Letshost, Digiweb/Novara). The ISPs are treading water with their historical marketshares but are not exhibiting any serious growth.
The figures above are from 01/May/2008. The number of registered .ie domains at that time was 101156. Every hoster (currently 1072272 distinct hosters) in com/net/org/biz/info/ie/mobi/asia is tracked here. The databases also track approximately 2.61M .eu domains and 3.92M .co.uk domains. The stats are produced monthly. The Irish market report is a 26 spreadsheet report and as such it would be a bit difficult to post here.
