A pair of Problem when moving websites from one provider to the next, the domain cannot be reached for a good 48 hours. The use of external domains could help. A field report.
One or the other noticed it in the past week and also last week: Best of HR - Berufebilder.de®.de hangs a bit. Even hard last weekend. It now follows that I am near Future want to change my web host.
For some time now I have been annoyed by the poor performance of my webhosting package, which, despite its own server, sometimes results in server failures and inaccessibility, of which not only the website but also eMail and FTP access are concerned.
In addition, there is a really lousy customer service, where the supportTeam bursting with ignorance and actually only available when it suits him - that is, despite the alleged 24/7 service hotline, for example not on weekends. The only question is: where to go?
At first I was inclined to blame the downtimes for higher demand. Because the ARD reportin which I was seen, not only has a lively discussion on Best of HR – Berufebilder.de® and on the net, but also drove the number of traffic significantly - a trend that continues today.
But the failures of the weekend were not just the rise of normal user numbers, there were other reasons:
However, what has prevented me from switching providers so far was above all the problem of the domain relocation:
For the period in which a domain is moved from one provider to another, so at least 48 hours, the website and - much worse - the eMailServer then unreachable.
The advantages are on the Hand: In the future I can change servers and hosting providers in practically a few minutes. The entire domain transfer procedure is no longer necessary - in most cases, only the name servers of the new provider have to be entered at the domain registrar.
If you can believe this post on Netzwelt, which otherwise has some research errors, then this separation of domain and web hosting in the US is completely normal. In Europe, on the other hand, it is still a rarity, although this possibility is offered by a number of providers.
The question is: With which Webhoster have just larger pages and blogs had good experiences? I am not only concerned about technical equipment, but also about customer service.
However, I found it recently Solution for this problem: The use of external domains. The domains are registered with a provider and then forwarded to the web hosting provider, where they work as desired.
My Choice much on the Cologne provider Host Europe - less because of the good price-performance ratio and more because of their willingness to support my web hosting as a sponsor in the future.
Although Host Europe requires less 60 cents a month per domain than my previous web host, but according to Netzwelt there are even cheaper providers.
The setup at Host Europe is also a bit more complex: It is done via the so-called AUTO-DNSSystem, where you have to enter the secondary DNS profile.
Ultimately, however, this was also for me as a beginner. It was significantly more difficult to consult the relevant data with the current provider for the domain relocation as well as the domains correspond to cancel - especially since the supporthotline of the offerer made only contradictory to false information.
Now I have explained at length and in detail why external domains useful are. The second part is about the setup, which is easier than expected.
My site has been quite unintentionally moved by my readers last weekend: The site is now hosted at a special provider for WordPress.
But not only that, he also gave me lots of helpful tips for setting it up competently helped. The site now runs twice as much on a shared hosting plan for less than half the price fast as before on the managed server at 1blu. A big thank you for that!
So that if I can, but should be necessary, move the next time faster, my domains are now at Host Europe, which also support me as a sponsor.
Setting up the external domain was actually quite simple - easier than expected anyway:
If the website has to move again, I do not have to manage a domain move, but only the DNS entries change.
A practical matter. Disconnecting domains and web hosting is something I can only recommend.

I stumbled upon this page by chance and think it's really good.
I can recommend the company planet cyborg (https://planetcyborg.de/) as a web host. The company is run by friends of mine I know quite well and therefore I know that you can trust them absolutely. I myself have accordingly also my webspace with the gentlemen. They also have experience with services which have a somewhat greater usefulness as they also provide some technical services at the University of Bremen. As far as support is concerned, they are very eager to respond promptly and even go so far as to have Webspaces on which WordPress is installed, after a certain time automatically send a request to update the same, if this is not done accordingly , so that no unsafe WordPress installations can compromise the operation of the server. The extent of the webspace and the associated prices are individual negotiating matters. So just ask.
Hello Mrs. Janson,
I definitely recommend a special hoster because I am there as a customer. The availability for my questions (as a paying customer of a premium package) has always been optimal and the support was able to answer my "amateur questions" competently at any time. And no, I am not sponsored by them, although of course I would get a bonus if I were recommended. But these advertising programs are usually everywhere.
My recommendation goes very clearly to Berlin to STRATO AG. Good prices, German location, German support, SSL encryption possible, variable packages and a tidy online customer center. also with regard to the contracting, I am more than just enthusiastic, because I had to make some changes. Did everything always top.
Hello Marc, thanks for the hint. However, I have heard criticism most often from STRATO. I am now at Hosteurope - they guarantee at least 6 hours to respond.
Can only share the criticism of STRATO. An acquaintance of mine is there and has the more frequent problem with its WP installation because of the strange configuration of the webspace.
Is there any news from emilia?
Thank you! Enjoy your vacation!
I have all incl
Dear Mrs. Janson,
The last 3 years I have been working for an IT service provider in Switzerland and can only support your knowledge: Never go to a one-man-show when it comes to the important availability of your IT services. This one-man show must never fail if you need it urgently, no matter if this is due to social, technical or medical reasons.
I hesitate to recommend a specific hoster, because there are many capable providers in this area. But you have now asked specifically and therefore give you in this regard simply my own hoster: For my needs, I have found so far competent help, but the support needs are of course different for everyone.
Best Regards
from Basel
Christian of Scharpen
Many thanks for the answer. Nice to hear that you are satisfied with Hosteurope: I have also found that it seems to guarantee quite reasonable reaction times.
What does it look like with little extras?

Hello Simone,
Very good article, because that's basically how I do it (with InternetX and Allinkl). Now I would actually like to test HostEurope - but read there that external domains are chargeable. )
However, you write under point 8, that this is done free of charge. Did I miss something?
LG Carsten
Hi Carsten,
which is correct, at Hosteurope the service usually costs about 5 Euro. The explanation is given above in the article: Hosteurope supports me as a sponsor. Therefore, it is free of charge for me.
Does hosting a domain on InternetX cost nothing? That would be good to know ...
