.de .de versus .de.com

[SKG]

What is the difference? Is it bad to own .de.com? Are they worthless?

 

[Sam]

worthless unless u own a premium keyword or a one character.

 

[JoshHendo]

de.com could be a sub doamin name? Worthless :P

 

[Kate]

Yep .de.com is a private subdomain, I don't like subdomains personally.
Also you are at the mercy of the company which owns .com, no transfers possible.
If you are targetting the German market you will be fine with .de. German people prefer to use .de.
If you can get the .com version of your name then it would a be a definitive plus.

 

[kraam]

me either subdomains just make the url look to big

I agree .de.com is a waste of money.

 

[monRa]

[Prosperous]

Excuse me? You have obviously not been following the recent massive sales for the German extension.

.de.com is however, worthless. It is hardly used at all in Germany. As apposed to .uk.com which is widely used in the UK.

I think it is only the government that can use the .uk.

When it comes to the .uk.com I have not really seen it used.

the only time I saw it used, was when I typed:

• site:UK.com on google

I would never register a .uk.com

 

[IAmAllanShore]

.de over a .de.com any day of the week.
.co.uk over .uk.com any day of the week.
.uk ... me wants you = available. me = happy then.

[Reppy]

I wouldn't touch .au.com

It'd be .com.au for me.

LOL yes they are!

 

[domainprince]

.uk.com and .de.com are both worthless. Go for .co.uk and .de.

 

[Zeeble]

.uk.com and .de.com are both worthless.

That is your opinion, you have obviously not seen some of the higher sales for strong keywords.
