[thelist] german web terminology

[muinar]

Try to contact folks at denic.de - that's the main registration
service. Others try to sell you hosting and forwarding, even
if you don't want to. This can get tough if you want your domain
back from them. Germany IME has a bit a special way to handle
registrations.

This is not a real word.

These words are eingedeutscht, you can use them in german.

Ok if you go directly to Denic, you need a german admin address.
Then you're ok. Registration there is by fax - not online. You
print out online pdf forms and send them by fax to denic.

Tell me if you have more questions.
