Over 10 million .de domains registered, .eu approaches 2 million.
Some people say the recent .eu domain launch was the most successful launch in history. Others say it was just a sham speculative event. Either way, .eu registry EURid is making a mint. .eu registrations are approaching 2 million.
As a country code domain, .eu does not fall under ICANN governmental policy. Another country code domain, .de has become one of the most popular domains on the web. .de now has over 10 million registered domains according to a recent new story. As of the end of May it had 9.921M domains registered, so registrations are continuing to grow. Nearly 300,000 of these domains are IDNs. International domain names are proving a growth driver for .de domains and other extensions such as .com — a real boon for registrars. .de domains also sell well on the aftermarket. Just this past week NameDrive announced it helped sell Poker.de for $300,000.
