📄 Editorial Review

checkdomain is a German domain registrar and web hosting provider based in Lübeck, with roots around 2000 and a strong "Made in Germany" profile. Over time they have evolved from a pure domain-focused company into a broader hosting brand and are now part of a larger hosting group, while still operating under their own name and targeting mainly customers in Germany, Austria and the wider DACH region. An English-language site serves international users, but the core focus is clearly German-speaking markets.

The company’s DNA is still domains. They manage hundreds of thousands of domains and offer an extensive catalogue of more than 900 TLDs from around the world, plus DNS management, WHOIS tools, domain search and extras such as domain privacy and brand-oriented features. Membership in multiple country registries underlines their role as a direct registrar rather than just a reseller.

On the hosting side, the main product line is classic webhosting for individuals, freelancers, small businesses and agencies. The current shared hosting generation (Start 6.0, Pro 6.0, Premium 6.0, Business 6.0) is SSD-based and includes free SSL for all domains, email mailboxes, MySQL databases, FTP accounts and cronjobs. Resources and features scale with the package; the higher Premium and Business tiers add SSH access and higher PHP memory limits for more demanding projects. A one-click app installer covers popular CMS platforms like WordPress, Joomla and Typo3, so most standard website use-cases are handled without manual setup.

Beyond standard hosting, checkdomain offers a range of adjacent services. Managed vServers and dedicated servers are positioned for agencies and business customers that need more isolation and performance but don’t want to handle system administration themselves. Website builder and online shop tools are available for users who want a complete site or store without touching code, including hosted site builder, shop modules and payment integration. There is also a "we build it for you" website service where checkdomain’s own team designs and implements the site. Online marketing tools like rankingCoach, Google Ads management, banner ads and social media services add another layer for small businesses that want more visibility.

Technically, the platform emphasizes modern standards: SSD storage, multi-level caching, HTTP/2, PHP 8.4 support and an extended support option for older PHP versions so legacy sites can stay secure. Daily backups with short- to medium-term retention and built-in spam/virus filters round out a feature set aimed at offering solid, worry-free shared hosting rather than cutting-edge cloud innovation.

Overall, checkdomain comes across as a classic German provider with strong domain expertise, straightforward shared hosting and a focus on reliability, security and personable support.
