DENIC, the German domain registry, yesterday unveiled that it processed the ten millionth application for a .de domain.

This makes .de the second Top Level Domain, after .com, to pass the hurdle of ten million registered domains. According to Sabine Dolderer, member of the Executive Board of DENIC eG, the registration of the ten millionth .de domain represents a major success for DENIC and its more than 250 members. Thanks to DENIC's open structure as a registered cooperative and its registration terms and conditions, a diverse provider market has been developed over the last ten years.

Sabine Dolderer continued: "DENIC views this success as a duty upon itself to continue to administer .de as one of the technically most advanced registries and to guarantee a stable and secure operation. For us, reaching ten million domains is not going to mean any relaxation in our efforts. On the contrary, it is going to spur us on to make sure that, every day, we live up to the domain holders' expectations that we will provide a truly top-grade service."

The 10 millionth .de domain name is huettenberger-case-fabrik.de.
