Eligibility conditions

Who can register a .de?

The owner or administrator of the domain name must have an address in Germany. If you do not meet this condition, OVHcloud will be automatically marked as a local contact. When the domain name expires, it will go into transit status with DENIC, the registry for .de domains, who will then contact you to confirm the deletion of your domain name. If this operation is not confirmed, it will be billed.

Information about .de

About .de domains

Like all ccTLDs, .de is a geographical domain extension, which means that it aims to group together websites with content in a common primary language aimed at a local audience (in this case, German). It was created in 1986 and its manager is the German company DENIC. You will need to have a postal address and contact details in Germany to reserve this extension.

Advantages of reserving a .de domain name:

As mentioned for all of our ccTLDs, .de is ideal for any localised web projects. Whether you want to create a website, an e-commerce store or a web application, if your audience is located in Germany then a .de domain name will be your best choice. It will make you visible to your Germany-based audience and will boost your relevance in this specific geographical area.
