Gandi

.de registrar in Germany, read from its own storefront on 2026-10-08

Accredited by DENIC

Can a member of the public buy a .de here?

Its own page offers .de through a English storefront, but on 2026-10-08 it printed no .de price with its VAT treatment that this site could read, so it is listed on the Germany page as read and not ranked.

Why it is not ranked

The page prices .de for France, excluding taxes; no German price or German VAT treatment was shown.

Namespaces on its own page

.de

What its page printed

The German address redirects to the English page: .de REGISTRATION From €12.00 €5.99 per year, RENEWAL €31.98 per year; 'Prices for France, Taxes excluded, in € (EUR)'

Read from https://www.gandi.net/en/domain/tld/de on 2026-10-08. A storefront read establishes the language, the currency and the figure the page printed that day. It does not establish support quality, uptime or what a renewal will cost next year.

How the Germany storefronts were read

Eight German retail brands from DENIC's member list plus the two tracked registrars with a German storefront were opened in a real browser on 2026-09-28. Checkdomain and INWX returned 404 on the page tried, Key-Systems 403, and Host Europe printed no price; Gandi's German address redirects to its English storefront. On 2026-10-20/21 the 3 storefronts that could not be read were opened again in a browser that waits longer for pages built by script, reads framed pages and follows a redirect from plain http to https: 2 were read this time, 1 still could not be, and none of those read prints a comparable .de price. On 2026-10-08, 34 storefronts were read by hand from their own .de pricing pages: 1 already listed here now carry a comparable .de price, and 33 were opened for the first time, 14 of them with a comparable price. On 2026-10-26, 30 storefronts were read by hand, looking for a page that states the tax treatment of its .de price: 30 were added and 0 re-read, and the number with a comparable .de price went from 17 to 23.

FAQ

Is Gandi accredited to sell .de?
Yes. Gandi is on the accredited-registrar list DENIC publishes, read on 2026-09-20. Accreditation means the registry permits it to sell the namespace; it does not by itself mean the registrar retails .de to the public, which is what the storefront read establishes.
What does Gandi charge for a .de domain?
Its page offers .de, but on 2026-10-08 it printed no .de price with its VAT treatment that this site could read: The page prices .de for France, excluding taxes; no German price or German VAT treatment was shown.
Has this site tested Gandi?
No. We have run no support test, no transfer test and no uptime measurement on Gandi, so it carries no score and appears in no quality ranking. The .de ranking on the Germany page orders registrars by one printed price only.
