Why register a Germany domain name?

Germany is located in Central Western Europe, situated between the Baltic and North seas bordering the Alps, Denmark, Poland, the Czech Republic, Austria, Switzerland, France, Luxembourg, Belgium, and the Netherlands. Its central location allows tourists access to so many other countries. But there is also so much to do in Germany that it's a fabulous place to visit. It's known for bread, beer, sausages, cars, castles, music... the list goes on. But also, the capital is Berlin--a city famous for its deep connection to the WWII. Rich in cutler and heritage, this country doesn't disappoint.

If you conduct business from within Germany it is time to register a .de domain extension. Registering a dot 'DE' country code extension (top level domain name) will increase credibility for your business across the globe. Why? Country-code domains are meant specifically for businesses that do business within a particular country--in this case, Germany. The .com domain (and other generic TLDs) are not targeted and that online space is saturated--and you likely already have the .com for your business.

Extend your brand presence with a more relevant, shorter domain--a ccTLD that differentiates you from competitors. Identify yourself as an official German business owner and give your clients and constituents more confidence as they interact with you online. Country code domains also help you rank higher in local search results.

What are the domain’s valid characters and length?

Domain Names must have minimum of 3 and a maximum of 63 characters, begin with a letter or a number and end with a letter or a number. Use the English character set and may contain letters (i.e., a-z, A-Z), numbers (i.e., 0-9) and dashes (-) or a combination of these.

Registrations of internationalized domain names (IDN) are also accepted so that all diacritics of German, many diacritics of other languages and the eszett, ß, may be used.
