Name Server Service of DENIC

DENIC's name servers are located at different places all around the globe. Having the servers spread like this ensures that the information is available at any time and with short response times everywhere. Together, the .de name servers respond to more than seven billion queries every day, i.e. each location handles an average of some 6 000 queries per second.

The current practice is to reload the .de zone with the latest domain data in regular intervals and then copy all this information to the name servers.

Authoritative for .de are the following name servers:
