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.

.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

Several companies now register variations of their trademark names as a preventive measure against infringement. For example, check www.coke.com, www.coca-cola.com, and www.coca-cola.com, or try www.3m.com and www.mmm.com.
