Contact Our Support Team
01. What is a .kaufen domain?
A .kaufen domain is a generic top-level domain associated with buying and shopping. Kaufen means “to buy” in German, making the extension relevant for online stores, product catalogues, and businesses serving German-speaking customers.
02. Who can register a .kaufen domain?
Individuals, businesses, and organisations can register an available .kaufen domain. You do not generally need to operate a retail business or live in a German-speaking country. Standard registry policies, trademark rights, and applicable laws still apply.
03. What types of websites suit a .kaufen domain?
A .kaufen domain suits German-language online shops, retail marketplaces, product catalogues, and specialist stores. It can also work for shopping guides, product comparisons, promotional pages, and a brand's dedicated German-language storefront.
04. Who operates the .kaufen registry?
The .kaufen registry operator is Dog Beach, LLC, part of Identity Digital. IANA lists Identity Digital's website as the registry information website for this extension.
05. Can I register a .kaufen domain from outside Germany?
Yes. A .kaufen domain is generally available to registrants outside Germany. A business based elsewhere can use it for a storefront serving German-speaking customers. Clearly explain where you deliver, which currencies you accept, and how customers can contact your business.
06. How long can I register a .kaufen domain for?
A .kaufen domain can generally be registered for 1 to 10 years. Available terms depend on your registrar, and the domain's remaining registration term cannot exceed the registry's 10-year maximum.
07. Does .kaufen support internationalized domain names?
Yes. The .kaufen extension supports internationalized domain names using characters permitted by its registry IDN tables. Supported languages and character combinations depend on registry rules and your registrar's implementation. Check that your preferred name is supported before registering.
08. Is WHOIS privacy allowed for .kaufen domains?
Yes. WHOIS privacy is supported for .kaufen domains. Availability, eligibility, and any charges depend on your registrar and its service terms. Check the current Gatehills offering to confirm what is included with your registration.
09. Can I transfer my .kaufen domain to Gatehills?
An eligible .kaufen domain can generally be transferred using an authorisation code after the domain is unlocked and applicable transfer restrictions are cleared. Check Gatehills for current transfer availability and pricing. A successful transfer normally adds one year to the registration term, subject to transfer rules and the 10-year maximum.
10. Does a .kaufen domain include an online store?
A .kaufen domain provides your website address. Building an online store also requires hosting or an ecommerce platform, product pages, and any necessary payment and delivery integrations. These services are separate unless your selected package explicitly includes them.
11. Is a .kaufen domain good for SEO?
A .kaufen domain can communicate a shopping focus to German-speaking visitors, but the extension itself does not provide an automatic Google ranking advantage or automatically target Germany. Publish useful German-language content, clear product information, and accurate delivery details for the customers you serve.
12. Can I use a .kaufen domain for business email?
Yes. You can use a .kaufen domain for email addresses such as [email protected] or [email protected]. You will need an email service and the appropriate DNS records. Email hosting is separate unless it is explicitly included in your selected package.
13. What happens if my .kaufen domain expires?
The registry provides a 45-day auto-renew grace period, but your registrar may set an earlier renewal deadline. Following deletion, an eligible domain may enter a 30-day redemption period, when restoration usually requires an additional fee. A final 5-day Pending Delete period follows, during which restoration is unavailable. Renew before expiry to avoid disruption.
