What happens to my domain and webhosting?
Even if you switch to METANET or another provider for your web hosting, you can continue to keep and manage your domain with easyname.
I want to stay with easyname - what do I have to do?
If you switch your hosting to our Vienna data center, no further steps are required on your part - we will take care of the technical implementation. Just note that if your domain uses external name servers, you will need to adjust the IP address of the server to these after the switch. You can read how this works in detail in the following FAQ article: --> https://support.easyname.com/hc/de-at/articles/18773776857361-DNS-Verwaltung-im-Controlpanel
I want to switch to METANET - what do I have to do?
If you want to switch to METANET with your domain and website, you have to transfer the domain and the website data. To do this, you need the so-called authcode for the domain transfer and your FTP access and the new hosting at METANET.
You can read more about the authcode in our FAQs here: --> https://support.easyname.com/hc/de-at/articles/18773741717137-Was-ist-ein-Authcode-und-wof%C3%BCr-ben%C3%B6tige-ich-diesen
Once you have prepared all of these points, the transfer can begin.
