Web hosts in Germany: how to find the right provider.<\/h1>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Server location, data protection, technology and support \u2013 check these points before you decide on a web host.<\/p>\n\t\t

\n \t\t\t

Why choose a web host with servers in the EU?<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

For websites whose visitors mainly come from Germany, Austria and Switzerland, a server location in the EU makes sense for two reasons: loading times are short because the data only travels short distances \u2013 and European law applies to data protection.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

But be careful: not every provider with a German website actually hosts in the EU. Check whether the specific server location is stated and where the backups are stored.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t+<\/span>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/summary>\n
\n \t\t\t

Yes. If you set up and test the website on the new server first and only switch the domain afterwards, your site stays online the whole time.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/details>\n

\n \n \n \t\t\tWhat happens to my emails when I switch?<\/span>\n\t\t\n<\/span>\n
\n \t\t\t+<\/span>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/summary>\n
\n \t\t\t

You create the mailboxes with us beforehand and then switch the domain. You can transfer existing messages in your email program. Our support team will help you with this.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/details>\n

\n \n \n \t\t\tWhen should I cancel my old contract?<\/span>\n\t\t\n<\/span>\n
\n \t\t\t+<\/span>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/summary>\n
\n \t\t\t

Only once your website, domain and emails are running at the new host. That way, there's no gap.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/details>\n
