The .DE TLD
What makes .DE the second most popular country-code TLD after .CN? It is partly due to the fact that .DE is the country code top-level domain name for the Federal Republic of Germany (the name originates from Deutschland, the German name for Germany), which has a fast growing domestic domain market. However, its popularity is largely due to the fact that 'de' means 'of' in many Romance Languages such as Spanish, Portuguese, Romanian and French, which allows for very attractive domains and URLs to be formed.
The .DE registration does not require specific second-level domains. Your .DE domain name must have minimum 3 characters, which cannot be numbers only. All diacritics of German are supported as well. The only requirement for the .DE registration is that the administrative contact must be resident in Germany.
