DNS BE registered the 1 millionth .be domain name for an end-user. The domain name in question is boekee.be, registered by Erwin Boekee. By way of gift the domain name registration with his present registrar will be paid by DNS BE for the next 25 years.

We ended 2009 with a total of almost 978,000 domain names, a net growth of almost 14 %. The financial and economic crisis has clearly not stopped Belgians from registering a domain name. Of all the holders of a .be website, 70% is effectively established in Belgium. This means that for hundreds of thousands of Belgians, a .be domain name is an established concept.

DNS BE's job comprises the management of the domain name zone, i.e. record who registered what domain name, check the transfers, but chiefly: ensure that all domain names are accessible. To put it simply: DNS BE is the central GPS of the Belgian internet.
