Frequently asked questions
-
How much does a .DE domain cost per year?
A .DE domain typically costs between €5 and €15 per year. The price depends on the provider and included services such as DNS management or support. Lower first-year promotions are possible, while more comprehensive plans may cost more.
-
How long does .DE domain registration take?

-
Can I register a .DE domain anonymously?

What happens with incorrect nameserver configuration?
