According to DENIC's TOS, the domain owner doesn't have to be German (as long as they appoint a Germany-based representative for receiving correspondence official and court correspondence, but that's not easyDNS' concern).
- kuschku 7y agoIt’s hard to argue that you don’t cater to the german market if you market a product that explicitly requires a german representative.
- icebraining 7y agoThe product sold by EasyDNS is not targeted at the german market, it's targeted at people who (often, not always¹) want to offer their products (or information, or something else) to Germans. ¹ some just want some domain hack that ends in "de". I have a .es domain, despite having no intention of targeting the Spanish market, just because the name of the site ended in "es".
- kuschku 7y agoThere are 16'254'421 .de domains. Only 1'225'965 are owned by non-German people or institutions. That’s about 7%. It’s quite hard to argue they’re not catering for the German market if they sell a product with 93% German customers, specific for the German market.
