.CZ Domain Registration Demand Tracks Vacation Seasonality
Abstract
Digital life does not flow evenly across the calendar—instead, it fluctuates and surges in line with the rhythms of work, rest, vacation, and digital disengagement. By examining longitudinal data from the .CZ top-level domain, we demonstrate that domain registrations display pronounced seasonal patterns: they fall during the summer and December holidays, and rebound in early spring and late autumn. Using passenger air-travel and hotel-stay statistics as proxies for vacation intensity, our modeling results suggest significant associations between leisure periods and reduced registration activity. We conclude that digital infrastructures, far from being insulated from offline rhythms, are actively shaped by seasonal patterns of digital disengagement, challenging the view of digital activity as smooth and continuous. This calls for models that recognize human seasonality at the core of digital ecosystems..
