Zone Info

.DE is the official country code Top-Level-Domain (ccTLD) of Germany (Deutschland). A .DE Domain is normally used by companies or private entities who are located in Germany.

Restrictions / Special cases

Domain Operations

Domain Registration

Domains can be registered in Real-Time with the API AddDomain command.

Change of Registrant

An Ownerchange is free of charge and can be done with the API ModifyDomain command.

In case that you want to change the registrant of a .DE Domain, you should always add a new contact Handle instead of modifying the existing contact-Handle.

For your own security we recommend to request a signed ownerchange form by the new and the old Domainowner.

Domain Renewal

Domains cannot be renewed explicitly. To renew a domain you have to set the domain renewal mode or default renewal mode to AUTORENEW. Within the AUTORENEW process the registration period will be extended by 1 year / 1 month.

Deletion Process

Domains can be deleted with the API DeleteDomain command.
There is a Deletion Restorable Period of 30 days.

Please note that you're only allowed to delete .DE domains if you have the authorization of the domain owner.

If you don't have the authorization of the owner you can push a domain to the registry (DeNIC Transit) with the PushDomain command:

command = PushDomain
domain = <DOMAIN>
target = TRANSIT

XIRCA renewal system

The Deletion Process for domains with renewal mode AUTODELETE / AUTOEXPIRE is described below:

  • AUTODELETE: The domain will be deleted immediately.
  • AUTOEXPIRE: The domain will be pushed to the registry (DeNIC Transit).

Transfers

The transfer has to be initiated by the gaining registrar and can be requested with the API TransferDomain command.
A valid Authorization Code must be provided to initiate a transfer successfully. You may obtain the authorization code from the losing registrar.
Domain transfers are processed in Real-Time.
Since February 2009 only the new transfer procedure using the so-called AuthInfo1 / AuthInfo2 codes is supported by the registry. In event that your clients are asking for 1API GmbH´s DENIC Member ID, the ID is DENIC-332

Please remember that you MUST have a signed authorization-form of the registrant in order to request a transfer.

Transfer procedure WITH AuthInfo1 / AuthInfo2

If you want to transfer a .DE domain to us which has an AuthInfo1 / AuthInfo2 code set, the transfer can be initiated using the WebInterface or with the API TransferDomain command like a gTLD transfer:

command = TransferDomain<br>
domain = example123.de<br>
action = request<br>
auth = xyz12345

If the Authorization Code is correct, the transfer will be processed in real-time.


If you want to transfer a .DE domain to another DENIC member you can set an AuthInfo1 code which will be valid for 30 days by simply assigning a new authorization code to the domain:

command=ModifyDomain
domain=<DOMAIN>
auth=<TEXT>

It is also possible to explicitly set or remove an AuthInfo1 code for a domain name.
You can set an AuthInfo1 code with the DENIC_CreateAuthInfo1 command:

command=DENIC_CreateAuthInfo1
domain=<DOMAIN>
(optional)
auth=<TEXT>
x-de-authinfo1-expirationdate = <DATE>

You can remove an AuthInfo1 code with the DENIC_DeleteAuthInfo1 command:

command = DENIC_DeleteAuthInfo1
domain = <DOMAIN>


To create an AuthInfo2 for a .DE domain (gets generated directly at DENIC) you have to use DENIC_CreateAuthInfo2:

command = DENIC_CreateAuthInfo2
domain = <DOMAIN>

The AuthInfo2 code will be generated at DENIC. The DENIC sends a letter with the code to the registrant of the domain by post. A DENIC letter containing a AuthInfo2 code normally looks like this: DENIC AuthInfo2 letter.

Please note that requesting an Authinfo2 code is not free of charge!

Please note that when a .DE Domain is transferred successfully, then the registration period starts from the beginning.

Restores

Restores can be processed in realtime. A restore is possible within 30 days upon deletion. Please use the command RestoreDomain.

DomainAddons

The following overview shows you all available Domain Addons which can be used for this special kind of TLD. It also shows the respective API parameters which are required to activate the Domain Addons:

Addon Class Parameter to (de)activate *1) Renewal term *2) Affected Parameters *3)
Trustee X-DE-ACCEPT-TRUSTEE-TAC = 0 | 1 1 month ADMINCONTACT
Trustee X-DE-ACCEPT-TRUSTEE-TAC = 0 | 1 1 month OWNERCONTACT0EMAIL1






*1) Parameter to (de)activate: When accessing our backend through the API, you can either activate the addon with X-DE-ACCEPT-TRUSTEE-TAC=1 or deactivate it with
      X-DE-ACCEPT-TRUSTEE-TAC=0
*2) Renewal Term: Is the minimum renewal term of the "Addon Class"
*3) If you are using a "Trustee" Domain Addon normally the original owner contact or the original admin contact or both are replaced by a contact provided by the trustee provider.
      
      



RegistrarOC

Restore Process

To restore a domain as a RegistrarOC customer, you simply have to execute the RestoreDomain command. HEXONET directly forwards the restore request to the registry, which performs the restore in real-time. As soon as the restore is complete, the domain will get assigned to your account with the original domain data.

Please do not initiate a restore directly at the registry (e.g. using the registrar webinterface). All restore operations must be performed through our system.
