===Stabilisation=== Approximately 1.5 million .eu domains were up for renewal in April 2007. The EURid registry software is based on the DNS.be software and domains are physically renewed at the end of the month of their anniversary of registration. This process differs from more sophisticated registries like that of [[.com]] [[TLD]] and other [[ccTLD]]s that operate on a daily basis. As with any post-landrush phase, an extension shrinks as the ''Junk Dump'' takes effect. Over one year after the launch of .eu (5 July 2007), the number of [[.de]] domains registered was 11,079,557 according to the [https://web.archive.org/web/20070629120049/http://www.denic.de/en/domains/statistiken/index.html German .de registry's statistics page], while number of German owned .eu domains according to [https://web.archive.org/web/20070710114305/http://status.eurid.eu/registered.html EURid's statistics page] was 796,561. The number of [[.uk]] domains registered was 6,038,732 according to [http://www.nominet.org.uk/intelligence/statistics/registration/ .uk registry Nominet's statistics page]. The number of apparently UK owned .eu domains was 344,584. The extent of the shrinkage of .eu ccTLD is difficult to estimate because EURid does not publish detailed statistics on the number of new domains registered each day. Instead it provides only a single figure for the number of active domains. The number of new registrations are combined with numbers of domains registered. Approximately 250,000 .eu domains were either deleted or moved into quarantine by 30 April 2007. In the intervening years the renewal rate has stabilised to approximately 80%, which is above the industry average.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.eurid.eu/files/2011_annual_report.pdf|title=Annual Report 2011 - The .eu registry, EURid|work=EURid|date=5 June 2011|access-date=4 October 2012|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121202141350/http://www.eurid.eu/files/2011_annual_report.pdf|archive-date=2 December 2012}}</ref>
