.de Value of .de domains with English words?

[gericsb]

Hello,

Since English is the 'International' Language and sites like Chat.de have sold for xx,xxx - is it a good idea to register good english domains with the .de extension?

 

[edwinfelix]

chat is English, but nowadays is used everywhere.
IMHO, it's a good idea to register short, catchy english domains that everyone knows what it means.

Computer related terms are very often English terms. That's why they are desirable even in TLDs of countries where English is not a national language.

Good, short names or keywords can be registered.

english words .de

Hi,
I don't have any idea about .de values. Particularry, I'm interested in domains composed by english words with .de extension (ex. enjoy.de, webmasters.de, winds.de) and three letters domains.

Do you have some idea of average prices?

 

[gazzip]

Not sure as I have not really followed the .de market but there are a few on the following page(towards the bottom) -

well... let's say, is a single word .de domain with 3500 ovt worth registering?

i think thats a nice indication of a good name already
so go for it and reg it before it is taken by others

The problem with using country domains is that it gets hard to remember if that site you visited last week was a .be, .de, co.uk, .com or any one of the other possibilities. So it depends on the name if you have a gimmick with the end domain it will be easier to remember eg "steppedona.be".

 

[gattoplano]

You are right. But I've read that .de has got good value, as almost all LLL & dictionary domains are taken. Just like .co.uk... but I'm totally new to this extension

I have also heard that .de domains are very popular, there are loads registered and there has been some large .de sales - I'll see if I can find some examples for you.

Germany's .de is the world's second most popular extension
(behind only .com)
..................................................................

These are two of the BIG english language .de sales but there are quite a few german ones listed at http://www.dnjournal.com/archive/domainsales/2005-expanded-ytd.htm

Car.de - $15,102 – sold 2/15/2005 at sedo
Chat.de - $470,848 – sold 1//18/2005 at sedo

These are the best sales over $10,000 but there will be many others under if you have the time to read through it all !

In the end I registered MORALS.DE
I hope I didn't waste 15$

I've set up a full list of free english word domains that you might like.

.DE names in english or german? Sales? Reg's?

Do more names get reg'd in english or german for the .DE extension? Which ones sell more and for higher prices? Would you reg'd a .DE in english or try to find the german word for it? I'm not to sure about this. I know there are alot of english speaking germans. Your thoughts please.

 

[stscac]

I've seen more reported sales of .de in German. I'm sure that there are some decent sales in English, but primarily in German.

Check out sedo.de

Sedo.de lists a lot of english language .de domains in their popular domains category, but I own several .de domains including one which would be worth at least low to mid xxxxxx if a .com

Thus far, I haven't received any interest in it but I haven't done anything to promote it either.

Given the choice, I think german words are better but having searched the DENIC directory, it is virtually impossible to find anything available in either english or german anymore.

I also have yet to receive a definitive answer on how hard .de domains are to transfer ownership in the event of a sale.

Regards

I also have a few .DE in German language, bought them as they deleted, still get loads of hits and small revenue from them, all paid for themselves though!!

2 offers on 1 domain on sedo, will see how it goes, but definalty German words for .DE
