.de domain questions

Short answers about registering, pricing and transferring .de domains.

How do I check if a .de domain is available?

Enter the name in the checker on this page. The result comes from .de's own registry over RDAP, so an available answer means the registry holds no record of that name.

Is .de expensive compared to similar extensions?

Of the 26 country code extensions we hold pricing for, .de has the lowest renewal price, below the $18.16 median.

Does .de renew at the same price it registers?

At GoDaddy, Dynadot it does, so the price you pay in year one is the price you keep paying. Other registrars may still discount the first year and renew higher, so compare the renewal column above.

How much does it cost to transfer a .de domain?

The cheapest transfer we hold is $3.90 at Dynadot. A transfer normally adds a year to your registration, so it is closer to a prepaid year than a pure fee. Under ICANN's transfer policy a domain cannot move for 60 days after it was registered or last transferred, and usually not after a change of owner unless that owner opted out of the lock.

Is .de a good extension to register?

.de is a country code extension for Germany. It sees less use than the mainstream extensions, which usually means far more short names are still free. On renewal it is one of the cheapest extensions we track. Among country code extensions it has the lowest renewal price of 26. Budget on the renewal rather than the first year, which runs up to 7.0 times higher in year two.
