Included with every domain
DynDNS included
For a home server, NAS or camera on a connection with a changing IP: as many DynDNS names as you like, for IPv4 and IPv6, at no extra charge.
DNSSEC
Protects your domain against manipulated DNS responses, for extensions whose registry supports DNSSEC.

Your domain is served by several geographically separate name servers, fail-safe and fast.
Custom name servers supported
Want to use your own name servers? No problem: enter them for your domain in the Customer Menu.
Email and web forwarding
Redirect individual addresses such as info@your-domain.de, or all of them via catch-all, to an existing mailbox, or forward to another URL. Both possible without a hosting package and at no extra charge.
Auth code
Want to move your domain away from us to another provider? You generate the auth code yourself in the Customer Menu at any time, without asking support.
Transfer lock
Protects your domain against an unwanted transfer to another provider. You switch the lock on and off yourself in the Customer Menu, provided the registry of the extension supports it.

Domains at hostworld.de
More than 1,000 extensions
Alongside the classics .de, .com and .eu, you can register more than 1,000 other extensions with us: country-specific ones like .at or .ch and thematic ones like .shop, .blog or .cloud. You find the complete price list with registration, transfer and renewal prices in the domain overview.
A safe home for your domain
Your domain sits on redundant name servers, exclusively in European data centers, and can be secured against manipulated DNS responses with DNSSEC, provided the registry of the extension supports it. Management is GDPR-compliant via your Customer Menu.
Your own domain for your email address
With your own domain, your email address belongs to you too: info@your-company.de instead of a freemail address. The matching mailboxes are available in our Email Hosting from €2.95 per month, and linking it to your domain takes a few minutes to set up.
DNS management included
Every domain comes with full DNS management: you create A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, SRV and CAA records yourself in the Customer Menu, as well as SPF, DKIM and DMARC for secure email delivery. Alternatively, you enter your own name servers.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about buying a domain
What is a domain?
A domain is the address of your website in the browser, for example your-company.de. Via DNS, it points to the server where your content is stored. Without a domain, a website would only be reachable via its IP address.
Which extension fits my project?
For Germany, .de is the first choice: short, familiar, quickly registered. Internationally active brands go for .com, Europe-wide projects for .eu, country-specific extensions like .at or .ch fit Austria and Switzerland. Thematic extensions like .shop or .blog are an alternative if the name you want is already taken under .de. If in doubt, we advise you by email or phone.
What does a domain cost?
The price depends on the extension. A new registration costs €3.99 per year for .de, regularly €7.99 for .eu and €15.99 for .com. Individual extensions are available at a promotional price from time to time. Renewal costs the same or less depending on the extension, for .de for example €3.99.
Can I register several domains?
Yes, as many as you like. You manage each domain individually in the Customer Menu, with its own DNS configuration and its own renewal date. For larger portfolios, take a look at our reseller terms.
What do I do with a domain if I don’t have a website yet?
A domain is useful even without a website: you forward emails to your existing address, point the domain to another site or use it via DynDNS for your connection at home. You set all of this up in the Customer Menu, without a hosting package and at no extra charge.
What comes with every domain?
Full DNS management, DynDNS for IPv4 and IPv6, DNSSEC, redundant name servers, email and web forwarding, the transfer lock and the auth code. All in the Customer Menu, at no extra charge.
How long does registration take?
.de domains are usually active within a few minutes, DENIC registers in real time. For generic extensions like .com, .net or .org, it takes a few minutes to a few hours, for individual special extensions at most 24 hours.
Can I transfer an existing domain to hostworld.de?
Yes. With the auth code from your previous provider, you move your domain to us in a few steps. The transfer costs the transfer price of the respective extension, you find all prices in the price list. We explain the process step by step on the transfer page.
How do I cancel a domain?
In the Customer Menu, you select the domain and cancel with a notice period of 7 days before the end of the contract. The domain stays active until the paid period expires, then the renewal is dropped and the domain is deleted. Alternatively, you can transfer it to another provider at any time before that. After deletion, anyone else can register the domain again.
