Email made in Germany.
Germans, just like most Europeans, value their privacy; the news of the NSA snooping into the emails of millions of Americans via their providers didn’t sit well with their German counterparts.
Several telecom providers in Germany started a new initiative supporting email privacy.
Referred to as “Email Made in Germany“, the initiative places emphasis on the encryption of data to and from their destination.
GMX, T-Online, Freenet and Web.de have created an informational portal, placing cute little German flags on a network map of Germany.
The domain used is typically German as well: E-Mail-Made-In-Germany.de.
German companies don’t flinch at the use of lengthy domain names, with words separated by dashes; it’s a common practice for businesses in Deutschland.
The good news: the companies have also registered E-Mail-Made-In-Germany.com, EmailMadeInGermany.de and EmailMadeInGermany.com. They all forward to the main portal mentioned above.
With Oktoberfest approaching, das ist gut.
This post is 100% true!
What a show off, their hyphenated domain is bigger than others.
Domainer – Nothing wrong with that.
