Why .COM.DE:

• The Perfect Formula:  .COM.DE brings together the popularity of .com and the national identity of .de.
• Many Valuable Domains Available:  The namespace will be brand new, meaning many highly valuable domains will be available to register.  Imagine owning musik.com.de, chat.com.de, shop.com.de, auto.com.de, sale.com.de, ...etc.
