On 2nd March 2007, .SE reached 600 000 domain names. An individual registered the Domain Name as 600 000. .SE (The Internet Infrastructure Foundation) responsible for the top-level domain in Sweden announced the registration of the 600 000th .se domain two months ago. magnusgoransson.se, was registered by Magnus Göransson in Malmö, Sweden and became the 600 000th domain number. "As my own name was available as a .se domain, the choice of domain name was easy. I will use it for a personal web site where I’ll publish my own music and other projects,"
The number of active .se domains increased by over 40 percent in 2006, reaching half a million in October. In 2006, registrations by private individuals exceeded those registered by companies and organisations for the first time.
"We have seen a strong growth of registrations of Domain Names over the last few months and there is a strong trend that private persons choose to acquire their own identity on the Internet - a domain name to be used for e-mail, personal websites and blogs," stated Danny Aerts, Managing Director of .SE.
