I was wondering if anyone can register .de names & what good registers providing the cheapest pricing for this extention? When looking up about .de names, it says that you need administrative contact resident in Germany, is that correct? Any ways around that?
Yup, It is necessary that the administrative contact address must be OF Germany to register .de domain names. However, you can still register a .de domain name if you are not from Germany. Domainsite provides an administrative contact with a German address for those who want to register .de domain names and are not located in Germany. Network Solutions can too help you to register .de domain name by automatically assigning the administrative contact information to Network Solutions' German proxy contact information. www.innter.net/en/ also provides a trustee services to help register .de domain names for people outside Germany. www.domainpeople.com can also help you in this manner by providing proxy German contact information. Some of my friends have used www.eurodns.com to register .de domain names. But, I am not sure if they can help you if you are located outside Germany.
Yes they do, have a look at http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=273334 Either Domainsite or Godaddy, you need to play with the A records in order to get your DE domain working
