Google Loses Its German Domain

Only for some regions

Google is one of the richest companies in the entire world with millions of users visiting the official website every day. Because it owns the most powerful search engine on the internet, Google is assaulted with partnership and agreements offers so imagine that the company's financial resources are quite huge. Probably, the most important element of the search giant is the domain name that is currently unvalued because Google is identified through it. So, if you own a domain located
in a country where Google isn't currently available, you should know that it can represent a huge treasure for you.

In the past, Google tried to buy more and more domains especially to avoid situations when the owners required important amounts of money but it seems like the problems with Google's domains appeared again. Multiple internet users reported that Google Germany is currently unavailable, the domain redirecting you to the host company that sustains there is no content for the website address.

"Reports come in from Netherlands that Google Germany, Google.de, is now forwarding to Marc Keilwerth's Goneo.de (I can't reproduce this). Others tell me Google.de has a new owner since January 22nd: Martin Rusteberg from Wiesbaden, Germany (with Mario Micklisch listed as technical contact).
Danny over at Search Engine Land also sees Goneo when he tries to access Google.de. He ends up at a screen showing German C-star Mirco Nontschew next to the message "Für diese Domain wurden keine Inhalte hinterlegt. Bitte schauen Sie zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt nochmal vorbei...", which translates to, "No content was provided for this domain. Please come back again later..." Google Blogoscoped reported.

I must mention that Google Germany is currently available for me, but multiple users from Virginia, London, Los Angeles and other places from the entire world sustain that the German domain is unavailable.
