Post Germans manage to break their own internet

Vast portions of the German internet were unavailable for more than an hour on Wednesday, after a snafu with the country's top level .de domain.

According to DENIC, the German net authority, 13.6 million domains use .de. Some reports indicate that all of them were affected...

Reports indicate that the problem was caused when DENIC [ the german net authority ] uploaded new zonefiles that were completely empty.


:lol: :lol: :lol:

Didn't notice any problems yesterday... I spent the day surfing the usual German sites during the day, as part of my job - Bechtle, Alternate, Amazon and heise and none of them were down. I only found out about the problem, when I got home and my girlfriend told me it had been on the news. :?

Wenn man Google.com öffnet, wird man automatisch zu Google.de weitergeleeitet. Man kann, nachher, sagen, dass er doch über die .com Seite surfen möchte und dann bekommt er erst englisch sprachige Webseiten, statt deutsche Seiten zu sehen.

That was an answer to Nick, whose German is impeccable. ;)

Vhen you open Google.com, you vill be automatically redirected to Google.de. Once there, you can tell Google that you would prefer to use the international English .com page. If you do that, you vill also get results for English pages, before results for German language sites.
