Have you checked your domain name lately?
Martin Stabe reports on a strange occurence: Google Germany apparently lost its domain name, Google.de, to a domain squatter last night but quickly got it back.
The lesson: Check all of your domains right now and make sure your web host has them set to automatically renew. Then check them again. Squatters are highly aggressive at swiping even the smallest domain names. If you’re a small media outfit, you won’t have a pack of angry Google lawyers to bail you out.

Yup. It was Google Germany, though, not Denmark.
Danny – .de = Deutschland = Germany.
Ach. Thanks guys. That’s what happens when I try to write before changing out of my pajamas. My apologies to everyone for the error.
