Short answers about .KAUFEN eligibility, naming, transfer, DNS, bulk registration, reseller API use, renewal, and policy considerations.
“Kaufen” is the German verb meaning “to buy.” .KAUFEN is a generic top-level domain for German-language ecommerce, retail, shopping, product campaigns, and marketplaces. The registry operator is Dog Beach, LLC within the Identity Digital registry portfolio.
.KAUFEN is generally open to eligible individuals, businesses, and organizations worldwide. A German address or local company is not normally required, but the name is most effective when it is relevant to German-speaking customers and the registrant provides accurate information.
The extension can suit German-language online stores, retailers, product manufacturers, marketplaces, comparison services, affiliate projects, campaign pages, agencies, and international brands entering DACH markets. Use the .KAUFEN availability search to test a short store, product, or category name.
.KAUFEN uses a German action word and directly suggests purchasing. .SHOP and .SHOPPING are more internationally recognizable English terms, while .DE is Germany’s country-code domain and follows its own registry context. Choose the extension that best matches the target audience, language, and market strategy.
A standard label can generally contain letters, numbers, and interior hyphens, with a maximum length of 63 characters. Use natural German wording, avoid awkward word order, check trademarks, and confirm whether any desired internationalized characters are supported before registration. Availability, reserved names, and premium pricing can also affect the final choice.
