A renewal extends the domain name for a 1 to 9 years period.

Change of owner:

The procedure is carried out manually using paper forms and allows the owner to sell a domain name to a third party. The seller and the buyer have to fill a form and send it back to NETIM. Then our service will check manually the request before complete the ownership transfer.

There is an alternative to the .DE extension. As a CentralNic accredited registrar, you can register domain names in .DE.COM with NETIM.

The .DE.COM domain is a subdomain of .COM for the zone of Germany.
