Do .de names expire?

[brooklyn]

Hi

Do .de names expire?

I cannot seem to see an expiration date on a .de Whois info

Thanks!

No they don't. That's why there are so many of them.

 

[peter]

who owns it after expiry?

Are you sure that they dont expire?
I am pretty sure they do. After all, i know one service that catches deleted .de domains...

 

[nicorlino]

They sure do expire. Reason that there are so many .de names is that Germany is a huge market and .de is the number one choice for Germans.

Best Regards
Nico

You wont see it in whois.
you can try to get a list of expiring soon domains at domaincatcher.de
i think they provide such a list.

Wow, thats a first news to me. Really?
I knew about .co.uk, maybe even .ca, but never .de on SnapNames...

 

[odette]

They regularly expire and drop.
