.DE is the country-code top-level domain for Germany and one of the largest TLDs globally. DENIC reported 17,663,886 .de domains in 2025, while DNIB Q1 2026 lists .DE among the ten largest TLDs and among the largest ccTLDs worldwide. This section uses verified public data and avoids unsupported investment claims.
Latest official DENIC total reported for 2025.
Total ccTLD registrations in DNIB Q1 2026.
.DE is listed among the top 10 largest TLDs and top ccTLDs.
This chart places .DE in the global namespace using DNIB Q1 2026 category totals and the latest official DENIC .DE count. It highlights .DE as a major ccTLD, not as a generic replacement for .COM.
.DE is not only a country code. For many buyers, it is a direct trust signal for Germany, German-language customers, local services, ecommerce, and regulated business communication.
A .DE domain immediately tells users that the website is connected to Germany, German customers, or a German-language service experience.
For shops, agencies, consultants, SaaS teams, and local services entering Germany, .DE can feel more relevant than a generic extension.
Global brands often secure .DE versions of their names to protect German-market traffic, campaigns, and customer support channels.
Selected public snapshots show that .DE has remained a very large and stable ccTLD. The Q1 2026 marker reflects DNIB's top-TLD and top-ccTLD ranking; exact .DE Q1 count is not separately published in DNIB text.
Selected publicly reported .DE sales show that clear German-market category names can carry brand value. These examples are for market context only, not investment advice or a guarantee of future resale value.
A German local business, an international ecommerce seller, a reseller platform, and a global brand team do not use .DE in the same way. Choose the service path that matches your market and operational needs.
Use .DE when your website needs to feel relevant to German customers, local searchers, or Germany-focused campaigns.
Prepare product, campaign, and localized store names for the German market without managing each domain manually.
Add .DE search, registration, transfer, and DNS workflows to your hosting, website, or agency platform.
Secure the .DE version of key names before launching German-language sites, local support pages, or regional campaigns.
If you already own .DE domains elsewhere, transfer decisions should not be based only on one renewal invoice. Check transfer eligibility, ownership access, billing reliability, support response time, API needs, and long-term domain management.
Paste multiple .DE names, remove duplicates, review the count, and continue to bulk registration. This is useful for domain investors, brand teams, agencies, hosting providers, and resellers.
Enter one name per line, with or without .DE. The tool removes duplicates and prepares a clean list for bulk registration.
If your business sells hosting, websites, SaaS, agency services, or brand protection packages, NiceNIC reseller APIs can support domain registration, renewal, transfer, DNS, and account management.

.DE is a strong fit for German companies, international brands entering Germany, ecommerce stores, local services, agencies, SaaS products, and support portals that want a Germany-focused web address.
In general, .DE can be registered by individuals and organizations worldwide. However, if the domain holder is not domiciled in Germany, DENIC may request an authorized representative in Germany for service of official or court documents within two weeks of a corresponding request.
The live .DE price is shown in the pricing cards on this page. Market, Basic, Super, and VIP pricing may vary by account level, promotion, period, registry rule, and exchange rate, so always confirm the final checkout price before payment.
