Can a member of the public buy a .de here?
Its own page offers .de through a German 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 shows .de at 5,00 € a year beside a VAT country selector but does not say whether the figure includes VAT.

What its page printed
.de 5,00 € / Jahr; a 'MwSt: DE 19%' selector sits at the top of the page, with no wording on whether the figures include it
Read from https://www.ip-projects.de/de/domains 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.
