Your idea. Your .de domain.
Get closer to the German market. A good name gives your plans a place to grow.
Why choose a .de domain?
A .de domain supports a recognisable presence for German customers. Pair it with useful German content and clear contact information.
The DNS zone must be configured before registration, including an A record and at least two correctly configured nameservers. Invalid DNS can prevent delegation.
Holders outside Germany may have additional obligations when legal service is requested. A trustee service is not included by default.
Your name, your control
Your actual details are registered as the domain holder. Manage your account and keep those details current.
Flexible DNS
Use ClouDNS or your own nameservers. Connect a website, mailbox or verification record.
Email on your domain
The 15 GB email plan is €2.70/month per domain. The option is shown separately at checkout.

Can I connect my own website?
