TLD: .de (country-code)
ICANN policies apply: no

Checks

i

.de is a country-code TLD (ccTLD)

Country-code TLD: governed by its local registry under national policy, not by an ICANN contract. Registrar accreditation, dispute resolution and RDAP/WHOIS rules are set by the registry.

#1
✓ TLD delegated and signed #2

.de is delegated in the root zone and DNSSEC-signed.
i

Registration data not available

No registration data via RDAP: the registry of .de offers no RDAP service. Many ccTLD registries don't offer RDAP; check the registry's WHOIS instead.

2 nameservers

Two nameservers meet the minimum; RFC 2182 recommends three or more for important zones: dorthy.ns.cloudflare.com, hank.ns.cloudflare.com.

#6
✓ Parent and zone agree #7

The parent delegation and the zone's NS records list the same nameservers.
✓ No glue needed #8

All nameservers are outside the zone, so no glue records are needed.
✓ All names resolve #9

Every nameserver name has an address and is not an alias.
✓ Nameservers in different networks #10

The nameservers are spread over 6 IPv4 /24s and 4 IPv6 /48s.
i

All nameservers in one AS

All nameserver addresses are announced by one network operator (AS13335 (CLOUDFLARENET - Cloudflare, Inc., US): 12 addresses). An outage or attack on that network affects all nameservers; large anycast providers mitigate this, but a secondary DNS provider adds independence.

#11
i

All nameserver names under .com

All nameserver names are under one TLD, so a problem with that TLD also makes the nameservers unreachable. Some operators use names under two TLDs for extra resilience.

#12
✓ All reachable over IPv6 #13

Every nameserver has an IPv6 address.

Checks

✓ All respond #14

All 12 nameserver addresses answered.
✓ All authoritative #15

Every responding nameserver answers authoritatively for the zone.
✓ No recursion #16

The nameservers do not answer recursive queries for other domains.
!

Software version disclosed

These nameservers report their software version via version.bind/version.server, which helps attackers find known vulnerabilities: dorthy.ns.cloudflare.com: "2026.10.2"; hank.ns.cloudflare.com: "2026.10.2". Hide or replace the version string.

#17
✓ Zone transfers refused #18

No nameserver allows a zone transfer to the public.
✓ TCP supported #19

All nameservers answer over TCP.
✓ EDNS supported #20

All nameservers support EDNS(0).
✓ Public addresses #21

All nameserver addresses are publicly routable.
