Crosses 15 million domain mark — Germany’s .De

Biggest county code domain name hits a milestone.

.De registry DENIC has disclosed that Germany’s country code domain name has hit a major milestone: 15 million domains right now registered.

The milestone was hit yesterday with the registration of floristennetzwerk.de, which translates to “florists’ network” in English. The domain was registered at German domain registrar 1&1 Internet.

.De is the largest country code domain name in terms of registrations. DENIC states that 50,000 .de domain names are registered every month.

The United Kingdom’s .uk is the second largest country code domain name as stated by VeriSign’s most recent quarterly domain name brief. In third place and rising rapidly is Tokelau’s .tk, which are offered at no or low cost.
