01 / Overview

What is .co.de?

.co.de belongs to Germany and is meant for Commercial, private second level websites. .de is one of the largest country codes in the world and DENIC does not use the UDRP. Disputes go to German courts.

.co.de is open to everyone. Anyone in the world can register a co.de domain. It is a private second level, not run by the national registry. No address in Germany is needed. You do not need any paperwork, and the domain is usually live within minutes of payment.

A Pakistani exporter selling to Germany can use co.de when the main country domain needs a local address. That is the kind of use .co.de is built for.

Terms run from 1 to 10 years. Longer terms lock in the price and avoid yearly reminders. Once a name expires, recovery depends on registry rules.

Moving .co.de to DomainWalay is simple. Unlock the domain at your current provider, get the auth code (also called EPP code), and start the transfer here. New registrations and recent transfers have a 60 day lock. Most transfers finish in Usually within 1 day.
