About .de Domain Extension

The .de domain extension is an international top-level domain (TLD) designated for Germany. Allocated by ICANN specifically for Germany, it is widely preferred by websites targeting German audiences.

Registering a .de domain can help your website appear more easily on German search engines, expand your international presence, or serve as an investment. It is also popular among Turkish individuals and businesses aiming to reach audiences in Germany, a country with a significant Turkish community.

The .de extension allows domains between 3 and 63 characters and supports Internationalized Domain Names (IDN). Registration can be done without any special documents, and the domain can be registered for up to 10 years. In addition to registration, domain transfers are possible, with 2 to 10 required NS (Name Server) addresses.
