.de domain name registration

.de is the country-code top-level domain (ccTLD) of Germany. With over 17 million registered .de domains globally, it is one of the oldest and most popular domain extensions. DENIC is the registry responsible for all .de domain registrations on the internet.

The name comes from the first two letters of the German name of Germany – Deutschland. .de domain names are for individuals, associations, small businesses or corporate groups based in Germany or anywhere else. If you’re a local or own a business that serves customers in Germany, or simply want to create a perfect name for your website, this ccTLD is for you.

The .de top-level domain has no industry associations, so it is excellent for all kinds of websites. You can register it to launch a blog, a portfolio, an online business, a membership forum, a booking service, and many more.

Some people have also used .de for creating domain hacks, like lemona.de.

.de domains are open for registration to everyone. You don’t have to be a German resident or own a company in the country to register a .de address.

However, the registry may ask you to appoint an authorized representative who lives in Germany and can receive official or court documents on your behalf. This contact information should be given within two weeks of the registry’s request.
