8 Million de-Domains
DENIC, the registry of the German Top Level Domain (TLD) has announced, that it has received the eight millionth application for the registration of a de-domain. The de-domain has the position as the world's favourite Country Code TLD, ahead of .uk, which has about 3.7 million registrations. The de-domains are also numerically stronger than nearly all the generic Top Level Domains that are used throughout the world, such as .org, .net, .info and .biz. Only one the com-domain with more than 30 million domains is more often registered than the de-domain. October 2004 .de 7.981.014 (Increment compared to one month ago: 89.793) .at 367.987 (Increment compared to one month ago: 4.766) .com 31.017.772 (Increment compared to one month ago: 750.631) .net 4.999.073 (Increment compared to one month ago: 88.952) .org 3.138.385 (Increment compared to one month ago: 37.607) .info 1.919.331 (Increment compared to one month ago: 683.846) .biz 1.041.432 (Increment compared to one month ago: 13.118) .us 881.411 (Increment compared to one month ago: 6.395) The de-domain is not totally liberalized, as it seems. Foreign companies and individuals can register also de-domains and sell products and services to the attractive German market by websites, but they must have a German Admin-C. DENIC-Member and ICANN accredited registrar Secura provides automatically this German Admin-C during the registration process. https://www.domainregistry.de/de-domain.html About The Author Hans-Peter Oswald http://www.com-domain.com; secura@domainregistry.de
