You can connect any number of domains to your web space. One domain is already included in your Webhosting package – additional domains can be ordered.

In case you want your domains with another provider, please contact our support – we are glad to connect “external” domains. Depending on the size of your Webspace package, you can add between 5 and 25 additional external domains.

 

If you have connected an FTP program of your choice to your Web Account, you have several directories.

The most important directories for you are:

/files

and

/html

Upload your homepage data into the /html directory. To store data that is not supposed to be available to the public, use the /files directory.

This error mesage alerts you or other senders about the exceedance of your inbox size.

You or one of your senders have received the following error message:

“Quota exceeded while writing”

In the Confixx menu point “E-Mail/ Mail-Quota” you have the option to set the “Mail Quota” inbox mode! There you can also see the current capacity!

In order to successfully receive e-mail via this inbox again, you have to set the quota higher or “clean” your inbox. You can do this by downloading the existing and saved e-mails!

If you have any questions, please contact our support!

 

The following settings have to be used during setup in your e-mail program:

User: webXpX

Password: The password has been generated during creation of the e-mail address. If you have already changed it via Confixx, use that password instead.

POP3-Server: pop.Your-Domain.tld

SMTP-Server: mail.Your-Domain.tld

IMAP-Server: imap.Your-Domain.tld

Important: In order to send e-mails without any problems, please check the field “Server needs authentification” – without this check mark you will receive a “Connection Refused” error message!

To find out which PHP modules are available on your account, please proceed as follows:

1. Create a new file with the name “phpinfo.php”

2. Copy the following content into the file:

phpinfo ();

?>

3. Load the file via FTW onto your web space and open the file in your browser. (e.g.: www.your-domain.tld/phpinfo.php)

Now you can access the information concerning PHP and the installed/activated modules.

Should there be a PHP module missing that you need, please contact our support! We will try to find a suitable solution together!

For our customers there is the option to change PHP settings directly via Confixx.

In case there is an option or function missing, please contact our support! We will add desired functions if necessary.

You can configure your PHP settings under the Confixx menu point: settings > Httpd Special

There you have access to your settings such as:

– safe_mode

– register_globals

– open_basedir

– mod_rewrite

– error_log

– memory_limit

– upload_file_size

– post_max_size

– magic_quotes_gpc

– max_execution_time

– default_charset

 

The PHP module mod_rewrite is available and enabled for all our web hosting and reseller tariffs.

Of course you have the option to connect domains, which are hosted by another provider, with our servers. Please note that the maximum amount of external domains is restricted depending on your package. Our support will provide you with the exact amount!

The notice period for domains is 30 days (if not announced differently – some domain names have a notice period of 90 days). Should you cancel a domain at a later point in time, we will charge your customer account for automatic service renewal.

If you already know that you do not want to renew your domain service, we offer a “discontinuation option”. If this option is selected, the domain will be “deleted” automatically after the minimum term has expired. If you want the option of automatic deletion for your domain, please contact our support.

The cancellation period of included domains is stated in the main contract (Webspace, Server etc.).

Yes, all of our registered domains are accessible with and without “www”!

When registering the domain, you are registered as Owner-C as well as Admin-C.

You can set up Subdomains via your Confixx login under Settings > Domains. You have two options for your Subdomain setup:

1. Branching to a specific directory which is located in the /html directory. For example: /subDomain1

2. Redirection to an already existing domain. For example: http://targetdomain.tld

 

On our homepage you can order additional domains by entering your customer login details during the ordering process to make sure it is assigned to your account.

If you do not have your login details, please contact our support! We will provide you with your login information.

No, unfortunately this is not possible. As soon as we have processed your domain order and transmitted it to the registry, the domain order cannot be cancelled anymore.

This also applies to accidental typing errors when entering your domain name. The domain is registered immediately and your customer account will be charged according to the tariff list.

The amount of time needed to transfer the domain/change the provider depends on your current/old provider. Please note that we require a signed domain switch form via e-mail, fax or post in order to provide a smooth domain transfer. Only after we have received the form, we will start the transfer process.

The required form can be found on our homepage under Downloads as well as at the end of your order.

Some domain suffixes, including the most common suffixes such as .de/.com/.org/.info, require an “AuthCode” in order to be transferred. You can receive this AuthCode from your current/old provider. This AuthCode enables us, your new provider, to facilitate a smooth and quick domain transfer.

As soon as you receive your login information from us, your domain is registered. The domain registration usually takes a few minutes.

Between the domain registration and online accessiblity, some 6 to 24 hours may pass.

The registration authority takes this amount of time to upload the domain data into the name servers. Additionally, it depends on how often your internet provider reloads his name server sets. You can already access your web space, before the delegation of your domain, through the registration authority via a server subdomain. Detailed information can be found in the e-mail containing your login information.

If your domain is still not accessible after the specified amount of time has passed, please contact our support.

 

At the moment we are using three locations:

1. Frankfurt am Main

2. Berlin

3. Hanover

You can find out where your server is hosted in the product description or by contacting our support!

All of our data centers have a redundant set up and several “carriers”.

Detailed information concerning the data center, is available on our homepage in the category “Technology/Data Center”!

 

The detailed information concerning bandwidth can be found in the product description. For the most part, our dedicated and managed servers are connected with 100MBit/s FullDuplex. In rare cases, our servers are for example connected to a rented 10MBit/s xD “Flat” with only 10 MBit/s.

Optional: With our technology, you can upgrade to 1000 MBit/s or 1 GBit/s. This may result in additional costs. For detailed information concerning additional costs, please contact us via e-mail.

We provide Debian Squeeze as default operating system.

Should you desire a different operating system you have the option to install the following OS:

– Debian Squeeze 32/64 Bit

– Ubuntu 10.0.4 LTS

– CentOS 6

– Fedora 14

– OpenSuSE 11.3

We also offer Windows Server 2008 Std. and Windows Web Server 2008 for a fee. The detailed information concerning pricing can be found on our homepage or via our support!

Yes, you have the option. Should your server become too “small” for your needs, there is an upgrade option. If your server model does not offer the possibility to upgrade, you can always switch to a larger server – without any additional costs for a new setup!

 

The difference between dedicated and managed servers is easily explained.

In case of dedicated server, we give you a server which you are responsible for and have to manage and control.

A managed server is the ideal option, if you as a customer need a lot of ressources but do not have the time or expertise to manage a dedicated server.

During the contract period you can switch between dedicated and managed servers at any time. If you want to change your server type, please contact our support!

 

Having an SSL certificate creates a professional impression to visitors of a website and increases trustworthiness of personal data security of, for example, an online shop.

SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is an open standard for secure data transmission between a web browser and your website on the internet.

With the help of SSL, the unauthorisied access of third parties to security-related information such as credit card numbers is prevented.

Additionally, the authenticity of a server can be verified through SSL.

The CSR is a public key that is being created on the server following the instructions of your server software. (If you do not have access to the server, your web host or internet provider can create the CSR.) The CSR is required to apply for the SSL certificate, since it is needed to verify specific information concerning the web server and your company.

An encryption is a mathematical process to encode and decode information. Every SSL certificate includes a key pair consisting of a public and a private key: the private key contains the coding and the public key the decoding information. The private key is installed on the server and must not be disclosed. The public key is integrated into the SSL certificate and is forwarded to the web browser.

When a browser recognizes an SSL- or Code Signing certificate, the validity and credibility of certificate is tested. An SSL certificate is deemed trustworthy if it has been signed by a “trusted” instance or a pre-installed root certificate is present. Since 1996, root certificates by Thawte, a globally recognized certification authority, come pre-installed on all common web browsers.

SSL certificates are recognized as indicators for online security. An SSL certificate identifies a specific domain (e.g. thawte.com) and a web server. The “trustworthiness” of a security indicator depends on the creditbility of the issuing authority.

Certification authorities verify the information of private customers or businesses with the help of several methods. Established certificate authorities, such as Thawte, are well-known and have gained the trust of browser developers. Browser developers also trust in digital certificates that have been verified by Thawte.

SSL certificates comprise verified information concerning the secured website. Through this, users can be sure that they really access your website. Extended Validation offers the highest standard of verification and the largest transparent security for the users in the industry. In high-security browsers, the address bar is colored green.

If you display the Thawte® Trusted Site Seal, your customers can click it in order to receive information about the identification data of the website, the verifiying certificate authority (such as Thawte) as well as the expiration date of the SSL certificate. Newer browsers show the identification information of a website if the user hovers the curser over the address bar. You can also click on the padlock symbol.

Encryption is a mathematical process to encode and decode information. The amount of bits (40, 56, 128, 256 Bits) indicates the key length. There are several combinations for a longer key just as for a longer password. 128-bit encryption is a billion times stronger than 40-bit encryption. The strength of the encryption when creating an encrypted session depends on the capacity of the web browser, the SSL certificate, the web server and the operating system of the client.

Thanks to SSL certificates, the privacy of online traffic is maintained despite the public nature of the internet. This strengthens the trust of the customers towards your website. When the user logs into your website and puts in personal data such as credit card numbers, health insurance services or bank account information, you have to maintain confidentiality of the data. Additionally you have to ensure that customers can confirm the authenticity of your website.

Amongst other things, SSL is used in E-mail servers, internet-based applications and comunication between servers.

An SSL certificate is code on the web server which secures your online communication.

If a web browser connects to your secure website, the SSL certificate enables a secure connection. This procedure is comparable with sealing a letter before sending it.

Since every SSL certificate contains identification information, these certificates create trustworthiness. If you request an SSL certificate, a third party (such as Thawte) verifies the data of your company and creates a unique certificate based on that. This is called authentification.

The specific notice period can be found in the description of the product! Depending on the type of product, the period of notice varies between 14 days and 3 months.

Please send in your cancellation letter in written form via post or fax.

Important: Only signed cancellation letters are valid!

Please note: Should you own domains from us and do not want to cancel but transfer them, please inform us so that we can release your domain name – We will provide you with the AuthCode to facilitate a smooth domain transfer.
