A .de domain — the address for the German market
Registering a .de costs €6.43 per year and renewal costs exactly the same. The price is flat and one of the lowest among European country zones.
.de is run by the DENIC registry and is the largest country zone in Europe: to a German audience the address reads as a local company rather than a foreign seller. It makes practical sense when you have a German-language site, local support or delivery within Germany.
Do you need to be a German resident
No: the zone is open to registrants from any country, and no proof of a German company is required — accurate contact details of the holder are enough. One nuance of the DENIC rules: if the holder is based outside Germany, the registry may request an authorised recipient of correspondence in Germany, to be named within two weeks of the request. Neighbouring options for Europe are .eu, .at and .nl; all country zones with prices are listed in the country domains section.
