question Is .DE.COM dead?

Atta · Apr 24, 2016

Is there anyone who still investing in this ccTLD or hold few?

Were you be able to sell any .de.com domain name recently?

Where would you sell them?

May be in Germany, it can be popular but I can't see many companies which own their .de relevant .de.com domain name.

I actually live in Germany and can say that this extension is worthless.

Kate · Apr 24, 2016

It's not a ccTLD but a private subdomain ! Whomever invested in it didn't do his/her homework. Indeed, it's not used at all in Germany.

Atta · Apr 24, 2016

Agreed. After looking at the popularity of .de in Germany, it is worthless to buy .de.com.

However, just focus only on the '.de ', which has a very high potential imo.
For any questions regarding german domain names do not hesitate to ask me.

@trp3 Danke Schön

I have little knowledge of German too. Thanks to my studies at German University.

The whole point of .de is to signify Germany and German things. .COM while used in Europe is more global/western.. so combining the two imo makes little sense. I never even knew there was a .de.com until now. Keep it mainstream, .de is a very healthy market. I've also sold a fair share of my german language names in .com too but .de is clearly preferred. Combining them just doesn't make sense.

@Metalogics : @Adam27 is right , it's the same thing, de.com and gb.com are someone's domains, and one day all sub-domains ( xxx.de.com) will shutdown

I made a mistake too and bought some us.org and qc.com (Quebec) butI realized that it was a biiig mistake, I think god that I bought just 6 domains

Now I can make the difference between someone domains who are selling his subdomains and real cctld, gtld ....

Atta · Apr 25, 2016

Yes. It looks true. Thank you

namerav · Apr 25, 2016

It's subdomain of .com not ccTLD.

LucidDomains · Apr 25, 2016

Lol, I never knew that, thank you for pointing out the obvious.

I wonder how they got some registrars to sell their subdomains as regular extensions.

Both of those extensions are run by CentralNIC. They sell sub-domains.

Good you educated yourself @Metalogics. Now inform others.

Atta · Apr 25, 2016

@Adam27 Thanks. I will try my best. That is why I opened this thread

I only bought two domains:

Toys.de.com
ITJobs.de.com

GoKaizen · Apr 25, 2016

I meant @abdou01 educated himself about real domains vs centralnic sub-domains. Glad to see others are learning too.

amaz_bab · Apr 25, 2016

yes, forget de.com, it's not very popular, .de is much more better

Kate · Apr 25, 2016

And this is another 'TLD' brought to us by Negari lol
