i always don't know why there is a need for free name.
getting a domain like .top, .de, .icu is so cheap today, less than $5/y. https://tld-list.com/ for price comparison. |

These supercheap prices are usually for the first year only.

What I find disconcerting is that more and more I am seeing spam and phishing messages using legitimate domains that have somehow been hijacked, indicating to me that many people and domain registrars have poor security. Or, is it just the email systems being hijacked? In any case, it seems like there are lots of holes in security out there, and lack of oversight of what systems are being used for. You would think that legitimate businesses would notice if one of their systems is being used to email millions of fake messages.

Be careful using anything other than a .com, .net, or .org. In my experience using other TLDs can dramatically impact your email deliverability, at least here in the USA.

Keep in mind though that rules may change, buying a domain in a foreign ccTLD means you may see the rules change. It's like buying property abroad. If you want to be completely sure, buy within your own country's ccTLD or buy within a gTLD. But as far as I am aware, no restrictions for .de domains currently. |

Anyone can register a .de domain, BUT if you don't live in Germany you may want to keep in mind ยง 3 (4) of DENIC's terms:
