## How .de is priced

5 of the 7 registrars whose .de pricing we have verified price it flat, first year the same as every renewal, while the other 2 discount year one (median renewal 4.0× the promotional price). Verified renewals run $3.95 to $39.98 a year.

A flat seller and a discounted one can look identical in year one and differ sharply by year three, so compare the renewal or the multi-year total.

Computed from the 7 verified .de prices this site holds, not from every registrar selling .de.
