Save your .DE domain: with AuthInfo2 at INWX

Has your .DE domain been cancelled? Is your old provider no longer responding – or have they gone out of business? There are many reasons why the auth code for a domain transfer may not work. But don't worry: INWX is here for you. With an AuthInfo2 order, we can restore your .DE domain with an AuthInfo2. Find out how here.

Simple and in real time: Click here to order AuthInfo2 Code for your domain.

In this mask you can start AuthInfo2 – for one or more .DE domains.

INWX to the rescue: Enter your .DE domain(s) here.

By submitting this order, you confirm that you are the domain holder or have been authorized to obtain the AuthInfo2 code. AuthInfo2 requests completed here cannot be canceled: they will be transmitted to DENIC, the registry for .DE domains, and processed automatically after payment. The AuthInfo2 code will be sent by registered mail to the domain holder's registered address. It is not possible to send it to a different address.

AuthInfo2 and AuthInfo2 Code - what exactly are they?

Saving your .DE domain: It is important to enter the auth code when transferring a domain. However, you may not have received the auth code. For example, because your domain has already been deleted (30 days is fine), the registrar or provider is not responding or no longer exists. Sometimes the codes are incorrect.

In these cases INWX can still help you. You can submit an Authinfo2 request, which we will forward to DENIC, the registry for .DE domains. You will then receive a unique password – the Authcode2. You can use this to recover your domain at INWX.

AuthInfo2 Code AUTHORIZATION

AuthInfo2 – am I allowed to do that?

There are a few restrictions: You can only be the .DE domain owner or a contracted service provider. Unfortunately, the Authinfo2 request does not work for any other extensions. And a deletion must not have taken place more than 30 days ago (the so-called "Redemption Grace Period" /RGP).

AUTHINFO2 PROCEDURE

How exactly does the AuthInfo2 Code work?

Simply enter the domain name here at the bottom of the page – you do not need the consent of your old provider. We will forward your AuthInfo2 Code request to you. The registry, DENIC, will then send the code by registered mail (only) to the address you entered as the domain holder.

Long-time customer at INWX — almost 20 years now — and a .de domain is still affordable at €4.65 per year, while everyone else keeps raising their prices! I’ve never needed customer support because I can configure everything myself in the account.

Super fast contact and competent help with setting up a subdomain including troubleshooting. I am very satisfied.

The service has proven to be very reliable so far. It is precisely when processes run smoothly and operate unobtrusively in the background that the quality of the provider becomes apparent. Discounts and extras are of secondary importance.
