Transfer a .de domain to another registrar

Alternatively, you can delete the domain name, in which case you must…

  • … or contact Infomaniak support (by providing the email address mentioned in the WHOIS contact details) and request its deletion.
  • … or wait for the domain to expire, after which it will be transferred to DENIC, which you can then contact to request its permanent deletion.
