Then in 1996 DENIC, the German co-operative was established by German Internet Providers and became the center source for .de domain names registry. DENIC follows the same policies of .com domains. The main rule is that anyone can have a domain name if they have an address in Germany. It doesn’t follow the costumer’s adage “first come, first serve basis.”
In Germany, most of the websites’ homepage have the .de domains, which are very popular to them. Those that have a .com, are not really thriving in Germany. Currently, .info is also becoming famous, but the experts say that it would not reach the popularity or statistics of .de users.
