DENIC Domain Registration: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how to register a .de web address for your site and the specific residency requirements you need to meet.
This scheme allows you to register an official .de web address for use on the internet.
Who it's for
This is available to anyone who wants to own and operate a website using a .de domain extension.
What you get
You receive the rights to an official German web address, which serves as your digital location on the internet.
What it costs you
You will need to pay a recurring annual fee, which typically ranges between €5 and €10 per year.
