.eu, .de and .ru Domains and Domains with Turkish Characters

Some country extensions are not open to everyone; registration requires an address or business presence in that country or region. Check these requirements before you order.

The .de Extension

• A verified address in Germany is required.
• A .de domain cannot be registered without this address.
• After purchasing the domain, you need to update the whois details with the address of your company operating in Germany or of an authorized person residing there, and let us know.

The .eu Extension

.eu domains can be used by individuals and organizations that operate or live in European Union member states.

The .ru Extension

• You need to provide an address in Russia.
• A .ru domain cannot be registered without this address.
• After purchasing the domain, you need to update the whois details with the address of your company operating in Russia or of an authorized person residing there, and let us know.

Domains with Turkish Characters

Many extensions, such as .com, allow domain names with Turkish characters (containing ç, ğ, ı, ö, ş or ü). Technically, these domains are registered in their "xn--" form (Punycode), while browsers display them with the Turkish letters.

• Turkish characters cannot be used in .tr domains; only the letters a-z, numbers and hyphens are allowed.
• Some email programs and older browsers may not fully support domains with Turkish characters. We therefore recommend also registering the same name without Turkish characters.
