DE domain name

terms new domain name

  • The German .de domein name needs to be entered into the name servers according to the strict rules of the German Registry (Denic).
  • The first condition is the use of 2 seperate name servers that both need to be in a seperate subnet (see example).
  • Also, the SOA values need to be within the following range:
    • refresh : 10000 - 86400
    • retry: 1800 -28800
    • expire: 604800 - 3600000
    • ttl: 180 - 345600
    • Serial: YYYYMMDDnn (YYYY = year, MM = monthnr, DD = day number, nn = serialnumber)

Example

Name servers are in a different subnet if the IP-address if at least one value of the first 3 ranges is different. The following is an example from an incorrect submission:

ns1.provider.com - 216.185.12.1
ns2.provider.com - 216.185.12.2

The IP-range 216.185.12.* forms one subnet.
