The .DE domain is the country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Germany, managed by DENIC.

Requirements

There are no special eligibility requirements for the registrant, but DENIC requires valid nameservers at the time of registration.

Nameserver Requirements

Valid, working nameservers are required by DENIC before the domain can be registered. Please provide the nameservers you wish to use when placing your order. If you don’t have a hosting service to manage your DNS, we recommend pointing the domain to Cloudflare nameservers. You can follow Cloudflare’s guide here: Add a site to Cloudflare You can validate that your nameservers are correctly configured using the registry’s checker: DENIC Nameserver Check (NAST)
