I bought a couple of .DE domains recently and to my amazement you cannot tell what registrar they're at or even the exp date from any of the major WHOIS services I checked, just go to Nic.DE (DENIC.de will take you to the same page) or WHOIS.de (which was developed partially by Sedo), I understand those are the 2 main sources, NIC.de should be the most authoritative, but no info on either issue, I went to several other WHOIS
The auction site did give me the registrar's name both times, I don't know how they knew that other than asking the seller, I asked them twice, no one has told me yet. However they're as lost as I am as to the exp date
Interestingly, the registrar I transferred the names to (there was bad press all over for the current German registrar/reseller) did not extend the reg for an extra yr, ie the exp date as I see it now is exactly 1 yr from the date the transfer became effective, I asked the gaining registrar, I was given a scripted answer on an issue that didn't have to do w/my simple question. Any of you familiar w/this...? thanks
Lots of mystery in all those coveted .DE names ! :uhoh:
