How the .de WHOIS lookup works

Live .de results from DENIC's authoritative RDAP server.

1Step 1

Enter a .de domain name

Type the .de domain into the search box. .de is the world's largest ccTLD by registration count, with over 16 million active domains.

2Step 2

FetchWhois queries DENIC's RDAP server

DENIC eG is the official .de registry operator. We resolve the RDAP endpoint via IANA and query it live.

3Step 3

Read the .de registration record

Registrar, dates, status, nameservers and DNSSEC data are returned. DENIC applies strict GDPR rules — individual registrant details are heavily redacted.

.de domains: Germany's TLD and the world's largest ccTLD

.de is the country-code TLD for Germany and, with over 16 million active registrations, it is the largest ccTLD in the world. DENIC eG, a cooperative of German internet service providers, operates the .de registry. .de domains must have a German administrative contact (admin-c) — typically this means the registrant must either be based in Germany or use a local presence service. This requirement makes .de somewhat more restricted than open TLDs like .com or .io.

WHOIS lookups for .de domains use DENIC's RDAP server. Germany's strong privacy culture and GDPR implementation mean that personal registrant details are heavily redacted in public WHOIS records. Registrar name, creation/expiry dates, nameservers and DNSSEC are typically shown. .de has excellent DNSSEC adoption — Germany has historically been a leader in DNS security.
