Template:Infobox Top level domain

.de is the country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for the Federal Republic of Germany. It is one of the ccTLDs internationally available. DENIC (the Network Information Centre responsible for .de domains) does not require specific second-level domains, as is the case with the .uk domain range for example.

The name is based on the first two letters of the German name for Germany (Deutschland).

.de is currently the most popular ccTLD in terms of number of registrations, and is second after .com among all TLDs.[1].

.de registrations may be directly ordered from DENIC but it is faster and cheaper to do so via a DENIC member (registrar).

Registrations of internationalized domain names are also accepted (see details).
