Web hosting is a service in which we provide you with storage space on a server. You install your applications on it and make the websites accessible on the Internet. As a hosting provider, we provide you with the infrastructure and resources required to run a website.
What is the difference between shared hosting, VPS and dedicated hosting?
Shared hosting: Several websites share the resources of a server.
VPS (Virtual Private Server): A virtual environment on a physical server that provides dedicated resources.
Dedicated Hosting: A complete server is available exclusively for your website.
You can find more details in the FAQ sections on the respective hosting page.
How do I choose the right hosting package?
Choosing the right hosting package depends on your website needs. Decisive factors include, for example, the expected traffic, the required storage space and the desired functions. For smaller websites, shared hosting is often sufficient, while larger projects may require VPS or dedicated hosting.
How can I transfer my website from another provider to you?

We also offer a free website migration service to make the process as easy as possible. Only with root servers are you solely responsible for the migration.

How do I secure my website?
To keep your website secure, you should make regular backups, use strong passwords, update your software and plugins, and install an SSL certificate. Learn more in the FAQs on our SSL certificates page.
What happens if my website receives more traffic than expected?
If your website is receiving more traffic than expected, it may result in slow loading times or downtime. In this case, you should consider upgrading to a higher hosting package that provides more resources.
FAQ about domain and SSL
What do I need a domain for?
A domain is the unique name that identifies your website on the Internet. It consists of a name and a top-level domain (e.g. .com, .de). The domain is your Internet address. It allows you to create your own website and be visible online. It looks professional, strengthens your brand, enables you to set up email addresses and improves your search engine optimization (SEO). With your own domain, you also have full control and flexibility over your website.
How do I search for an available domain?
To find an available domain, use our domain search tool on our website. Enter the domain name you want and our tool will check availability and offer you alternative suggestions if the domain is already taken.
How do I register a domain?
Registering a domain is done through us as your affordable and experienced domain registrar. Select an available domain name in our domain search or in the store, enter your contact details and complete the registration by paying the fee.
How can I transfer my existing domain to you?
Yes, you can transfer your existing domain to us. The process involves unlocking your domain with the current registrar and entering an auth code. To do this, simply go to Domain Transfer and enter your domain name there.
What is an SSL certificate and why do I need it?
An SSL certificate encrypts the data transfer between your website and its visitors, increasing security. SSL certificates are especially important for websites that process personal information or payment data.
What types of SSL certificates do you offer?
We offer several types of SSL certificates, including Standard SSL, Wildcard SSL and EV (Extended Validation) SSL. Each type offers different features and levels of security to meet the needs of your website.
Do you offer SSL certificates for subdomains?
Yes, we offer wildcard SSL certificates that cover all subdomains of a domain. This allows you to purchase an SSL certificate for your main domain and use it on all subdomains of your website.
How do I know if a website has a valid SSL certificate?
A website with a valid SSL certificate will display a green lock icon in the browser's address bar and start with "https://" instead of "http://". You can also click the lock icon to view details about the certificate and verify that it was issued by a trusted certificate authority.
How often does an SSL certificate need to be renewed?
SSL certificates have a limited validity period set by the certificate authority. Most certificates last for one year before they need to be renewed. It is important to keep an eye on your certificate's expiration date and renew in a timely manner to ensure uninterrupted security of your website.
