What is a .de domain?
.de is the official country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Germany — standing for Deutschland. It’s the perfect way to show you’re serious about doing business in Germany and looking to connect with local customers.
Launched back in 1986, .de has become one of the most popular domain endings worldwide, with over 17 million already snapped up. It’s Germany’s most popular TLD and a trusted favourite for businesses who want to be spotted by German visitors.
Because it’s so short and sharp, .de isn’t just great for German businesses — it can also be used creatively for all sorts of clever web addresses. So, if your perfect name is still available, it’s worth grabbing your .de before someone else does!
