DENIC : The regional distribution of .DE Domain Names in Germany
Denic, the company behind .DE domain extension , revealed today the regional distribution of .DE domain names in Germany.
You can read the press release after the jump :
“In every district and every city of Germany, you find .de domains. They are literally everywhere. The re-gional domain statistics 2014 published by DENIC, the registry for .de domains, map their distribution in detail. As at 31 December 2014, about 14.6 million .de domains were registered in 402 cities and districts of Germany. Adding to these numbers are more than one million domains of holders whose place of resi-dence is abroad. In total, about 15.8 million .de domains were registered at the end of 2014. Domain de-velopment in 2014 was slightly slower than in the preceding years and confirmed the East-West divide of .de domain distribution.
Municipal level: Metropolitan regions remain in the lead
Looking at absolute domain numbers, one still finds three metropolises on the top ranks. With 955,484 domains, Berlin remains the undisputed number one in the overall ranking of the cities. Despite minor domain losses, Hamburg (592,192) consolidated the second place before Munich (591,199). When refer-ring the number of .de domains to the number of inhabitants, Osnabruck is in the lead again: With 1,416 .de domains per 1,000 inhabitants, it scored a significant increase on 2013. Munich (426) moved from rank three to rank two among the German cities. Third in the top trio is Bonn (422), which last was in this league in 2012. As regards the administrative districts, last year’s number three, Starnberg (474 domains), took the lead. Freising (460) successfully defended its position on rank two. It is followed by the administrative district of Munich (387). The federal average increased by four to 181 .de domains per 1,000 inhabitants. (Individual statistical outliers can be due to local domain investors with larger-scale domain portfolios.)
Regional level: East slightly outperforms West in domain growth
On the federal level, the leading trio remains unchanged. The city state of Hamburg with 341 domains per 1,000 inhabitants maintains its uncontested leading position and stays far ahead of Berlin (283) and the territorial state of Bavaria (209). As in the preceding year, Saxony-Anhalt (81) brings up the rear after Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and Thuringia with 105 domains per 1,000 inhabitants respectively. The national growth rate further declined to 0.63 percent compared to 1.7 percent in 2013. Far better than the average growth rate score Berlin (+4.6 percent) and Schleswig-Holstein (+4.1 percent). Among the federal states in the East of Germany, only Brandenburg (+1.4 percent) and Thuringia (+1 percent) exceed the annual mean value. However, declines in domain numbers are recorded only in the Western part of Germany, in Bavaria (-2.5 percent) and in the hanseatic cities of Bremen (-1.2 percent) and Hamburg
(-1.1 percent). Nevertheless, related to absolute numbers, the Free State of Bavaria with more than 2.61 million .de domains still occupies rank two after North Rhine Westphalia, which remains in the lead with 3.25 million .de domains.
International level: Popularity of .de is increasing also beyond German borders
The year-on-year total domain growth rate for 2013/2014 was 1.4 percent compared to 2.0 percent in 2012/2013. This is an increase by about 219,000 domains (previous year: 309,000). Furthermore, the 15.8 million .de domains that were registered at the end of 2014 included 1,097,000 domains of holders resid-ing outside of Germany (2013: 986,000). This corresponds to about 6.9 percent of the total number of domains registered under .de. The holders of .de domains originate from 217 countries. Like in the past, German domains are particularly popular in the United States (15 percent) and the Netherlands
(12 percent) as well as in Switzerland and the United Arab Emirates with 8 percent respectively. All in all, 15,811,430 domains were registered with DENIC on 31 December 2014. Statistically, nearly every fifth inhabitant of the Federal Republic of Germany has registered a domain under the TLD .de. Thus,
Germany consistently ranks fourth in the world after the Netherlands, Switzerland and Denmark.”

.SE To Release One And Two Character Domains; Auctions for Most Popular
.SE has decided to allow registration of .se domain names with only one character. The most attractive domain names will be released through an auction on Tradera.
The 18 .se domains up for auction include j.se, q.se, v.se, å.se, ä.se, ö.se, é.se, ü.se and 0.se – 9.se. The auction begins on May 28 and ends on June 10.
Other one-character domains will be released according to the first come, first serve principle on the morning of May 27. All are IDN domains/characters according to .SE’s official IDN table. Note that hyphen “-.se” cannot be registered. All one-character domains to be released on May 27 can be found in the pdf file here.
To enable registration of one-character domains, the .se system will be updated May 27 starting at 9:00. As soon as the patch is complete, the domains will be available to register. It is anticipated the update will take up to a couple of minutes.
Some domains will not be released. These .SE note include a.se, b.se, c.se,… (and others), as these are used as master domains according to an old policy from the time when registrations under domains’ county letters (katema.a.se) were allowed. Although this was some years ago, it is not possible to enter new registrations of domains under a master domain as many existing domains remain, and these domains may survive for as long as they are renewed.
This information is also available in Swedish.
