Domain Registrations

A domain name is a name used to locate and display a website. A domain name is an easy to remember name that refers to an IP address. An IP address is an address written in dotted decimals (such as 196.7.164.2) that computers use to determine what website to display.

  • Domain registration costs are non-refundable.
  • Hetzner offers free domain parking.
Domain Transfers

When you change hosting companies, your domain name Registrar must be given the necessary information to redirect traffic to your new hosting location. Once your domain name registration record is updated to reflect Hetzner's network (domain name servers), you can start enjoying the full benefits associated with your Hetzner hosting account.

Hetzner offers free assistance with domain transfers.

Domain Renewals

All customers with domains registered through Hetzner will receive renewal reminders. For your convenience, we will automatically renew your domain on your behalf, adding the renewal fee to your invoice, unless you instruct us otherwise.
