DomainRegistry.de / Secura GmbH – German ICANN-Accredited Registrar

Founded in 1992 and ICANN-accredited since 2001, Secura GmbH (based in Cologne, Germany and Hans Peter Oswald
being CEO) operates DomainRegistry.de as its registrar platform. The company specializes in domain registration across nearly all country-code and generic top-level domains, serving both resellers and private customers. Unlike many large-scale registrars, Secura emphasizes expertise in new TLDs, trademark services, and multilingual customer support.

Domain Registration Services

DomainRegistry.de offers registration for over a thousand TLDs, including both classic extensions like .com, .org, .net, .de and regional or niche domains. Customers can also pre-register new top-level domains. Pre-registration is free, but binding — if the requested domain is successfully secured, a fee of about 60 USD/year applies.

The registrar also acts as an agent for the Trademark Clearinghouse (TMCH), allowing businesses to protect brands during sunrise periods of new domain launches.

Discounts are provided for long-term registrations: from 3% off for 3 years up to 10% off for 10 years.

SSL Certificates

DomainRegistry.de also sells SSL certificates from leading providers, including Sectigo, GeoTrust, Thawte, and Symantec. Pricing ranges from budget-friendly PositiveSSL (€14/year) to premium enterprise-grade certificates such as Symantec SecureSite EV (from €999/year up to €1,590/year). This wide range enables both small website owners and large enterprises to secure their sites with solutions matching their budgets and needs.

Customer Support

Support is handled directly by in-house staff, not outsourced call centers. Customers can reach the team by email, phone, or fax, with a promise to respond within 24 hours. There is no ticketing system, which may feel outdated, but the approach emphasizes personal contact. A structured complaints process is in place, with escalation to a dedicated complaints manager if issues are not resolved.

Website & Usability

The DomainRegistry.de website is available in several languages, including English, French, Russian, Turkish, Chinese, and others. However, the design is simple and outdated compared to modern registrars. Navigation and order forms can be difficult for less experienced users, which may push some customers to competitors with more polished interfaces.

Awards & Recognition

Secura GmbH has received multiple industry recognitions:

• Winner of the AI Intellectual Property Award 2016 (Best International Domain Registration Firm – Germany).
• Recognized as an Innovator at the Innovationspreis-IT der Initiative Mittelstand in 2012 and 2016.
• Honored at the Industriepreis 2012.
• Shortlisted at the Hosting & Service Provider Award 2012.

These awards highlight Secura’s specialization in domain services and innovation in the field of domain registration.

Domainregistry.de previously offered web hosting services, with plans such as the XS package priced at €6.71 per year in 2019. However, by 2025 these services have been effectively discontinued and left unused, indicating a shift away from hosting as part of the company’s active portfolio.
