What's included
Included with every domain
DynDNS included
For a home server, NAS or camera on a connection with a changing IP: as many DynDNS names as you like, for IPv4 and IPv6, at no extra charge.
DNSSEC
Protects your domain against manipulated DNS responses, for extensions whose registry supports DNSSEC.
Redundant name servers
Your domain is served by several geographically separate name servers, fail-safe and fast.
Custom name servers supported
Want to use your own name servers? No problem: enter them for your domain in the Customer Menu.
Email and web forwarding
Redirect individual addresses such as info@your-domain.de, or all of them via catch-all, to an existing mailbox, or forward to another URL. Both possible without a hosting package and at no extra charge.
Auth code
Want to move your domain away from us to another provider? You generate the auth code yourself in the Customer Menu at any time, without asking support.
Transfer lock
Protects your domain against an unwanted transfer to another provider. You switch the lock on and off yourself in the Customer Menu, provided the registry of the extension supports it.

Transparent prices
We show renewal and transfer prices openly next to the registration price: no hidden surcharges in the second year.

Is a .net domain only for IT businesses?
No. .net was originally introduced for network providers. Today you can also use it for a shop, club or personal website.

No. Use DNS management to connect your .net domain to an existing website with another provider. You can also set up web forwarding.
Can I transfer my existing .net domain to hostworld.de?
Yes. You need the auth code from your current provider. The domain must be unlocked for transfer and any applicable transfer restrictions must have expired.

DNS management, DynDNS for IPv4 and IPv6, DNSSEC, redundant name servers, email and web forwarding, and the auth code. Manage these features in the Customer Menu at no extra charge. Hosting and email mailboxes are available separately.
