All systems are operational. However, the German domain (.de) experienced an incident yesterday.

Here’s a good blog about this incident: https://www.welt.de/wirtschaft/article69fa7451c764528c1ad213b7/netzstoerung-zahlreiche-de-websites-ploetzlich-nicht-mehr-erreichbar.html

Due to the current host’s insufficient and unreliable performance over the past months, we have decided to change our host. We will take necessary measures and switch to a more reliable host. This transition will take several hours, and we anticipate it to be completed by approximately 4:00 PM German time. We will provide further updates on our status page.

Service Disruption Notice

We are currently experiencing unexpected issues with our hosting provider. As a result, our main server, root server, and overall website traffic may be unstable or temporarily unavailable.

At the moment, this appears to be a widespread issue affecting a large number of services across Germany, including many *.de domains.

What this means

Our website and related services may be slow, unreachable, or behave unpredictably
Server connections and traffic routing may be interrupted
Some features may not work as expected

Current status

This issue is outside of our control, and there is unfortunately little we can do on our end besides waiting for the provider to resolve it.

Estimated resolution

There is currently no confirmed timeframe. It may take some time until all systems are fully stable again.

We will keep you updated as soon as we receive more information.

Thank you for your understanding and patience 🙂
