What happens to my domain and my web hosting?
Even if you switch your web hosting to METANET or another provider, you can still keep and manage your domain with easyname.
I want to stay with easyname – what do I need to do?
If you move your hosting to our data center in Vienna, no further action is required on your part – we will handle the technical implementation. Please note that if your domain uses external name servers, you will need to update the server's IP address on them after the move. You can find detailed instructions 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 need to do?
If you want to move your domain and your website to METANET, you need to transfer the domain and the website data. For this you will need the so-called Authcode for the domain transfer, as well as your FTP access and the new hosting with 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 these points, the transfer can begin.
