.de Official .DE Showcase and Discussion

Hi..

just wanted to know

whats the value of .de domains..i know they are the second place after .com but what i wanna know is that

if i register a ENGLISH word lets say.... i register:

PROFESSIONAL.DE


whats the value of that...even though its not german...

 

[armstrong]

It wont be as much as the german equivalent, but still a nice sum. Without knowing the actual word, I can hazard that if it is truly a popular word and 'makes sense' as a .de, then it should be worth $500 or so.

.de is consider king to the german. although it might not be a german word but it will still fetch a high price if it is a premium eg. professional.de

 

[Artico]

I suggest sticking with german domains to a german TLD. :tu:

However if you did happen to registerit may still have some great value. Anywhere from $300.05+, - $565.05+

Thanks, :talk:

I like .de alot, I just wish they cost as much as a .us

 

[dax]

It is very interesting that some .de domains are even more expensive than same .coms.
IMHO, Germans even prefer .info more than .com (strange isn't it?) :D

 

[mantra]

.de domains are soaring in popularity... at least in germany they are .. if it's a generic english word with a .de ,.. it should fetch some money ..

.de and market value

when is the best time to buy and sell these domains

which website offers the most domain extensions, and are the prices reasonable?

.de question

Does anyone know of a translation site that can translate english to german? I have tried freetranslation.com and various others but most sites are giving me different results, so I am very unclear as to what the actual translation is!!! Go figure. Anyway, and what is your opinion on englishword.de's? Example: cards.de

I am just not very sure of how much value germans would place on english words with .de ext. Perhaps some of our german members can give me some idea.


Thanks in advance.

Well I did a search and read some of the previous threads on .de so might have found my answers. Boy, I need to use that search feature here more often.

How does one reg a .de if they live in the u.s.?

 

[Raf]

Thats a pretty tricky question, I would try looking at the terms and conditions at Enom, you might be able to register one there. :tu:

 

[jane118]

u need to give a ADMIN address for Germany

use eurodns.com to register they let u use their address

 

[.edu]

enom will let me I just have to come up with a germany address for the admin contact. Time to get creative :D

 

[Raf]

He he, you have fun with that .edu. Just make sure you don't get in any trouble. :p

 

[CrazyEddie]

use godaddy

 

[Raf]

Don't you have to be a resident in Germany though in order to register the domain TLD?

 

[CrazyEddie]

They let me use the admin info 2 be complient.

 

[OxDomains]

I would suggest using a private registration method...
