On 7 October DENIC, the central registry for the German Top Level Domain (TLD) .de, received the eight millionth application for the registration of a domain. It is tobihellmann.de. DENIC has now still further improved the position of .de as the world’s favourite Country Code TLD, ahead of .uk, which has around 3.7 million registrations. The .de domains are also numerically much stronger than nearly all the generic TLDs that are used throughout the world, such as .org, .net, .info and .biz. Only one TLD – .com, with more than 30 million domains – is more intensively used than .de.
