Why is a out-of-office assistant / autoresponder for my email not allowed?
Among the received emails, there are unfortunately always some spam emails as well. If automatic replies are sent to these spam emails, the senders will realize that there is indeed a person behind this email address. As a result, even more spam emails will be sent to this person. Our mail server handles the sending of these spam emails, which leads to a poor "digital reputation" on the internet, potentially resulting in emails no longer reaching their recipients.
How can I set up automatic email forwarding to one or more external email addresses?
If you want to forward to an external email address like Gmail or Hotmail, you will need a so-called distribution list. This can be created by pressing "Create new distribution list". You first need to enter the email address to be forwarded and then enter one or more forwarding addresses. This way, you can automatically forward emails to multiple recipients. The maximum number of recipients per distribution list is 30.
How can I install WordPress or DokuWiki on my homepage?
How can I change the PHP version for my Web space?
How can I upload files to my web space?
Webserver address: | webhost.my-webspace.at |
Username: | "Username"-www (Example: mustermann-www) |
Password: | Automatically assigned / self-chosen password |
We offer the following services for transferring files to/from your web space:
SFTP, SCP, and rsync (via SSH). Additionally, there is a web-based file manager in the customer panel – but this is only recommended for transferring individual files.
By default, we assign you a randomly generated SFTP password. You can change it in the file manager in the panel by clicking on the key symbol.
Please note that regular FTP is disabled by default! FTP is a security risk as everything is transmitted unencrypted and often causes issues with firewalls. Since most programs also support SFTP [for example Cyberduck (MAC), WinSCP (Windows), or Nautilus/Thunar/Konqueror (Linux)], this shouldn't be a limitation. If you still need FTP for a specific program, contact us through the contact form so we can enable it for you.

How does the use of E-Mail Plus addresses work?
j.doe+anyword@example.com
and that these will also end up in your inbox?
What is this useful for?
Assume your email address is j.doe@example.com and you register for an online account at Contoso. With the help of E-Mail Plus addresses, you could use j.doe+contoso@example.com instead of your actual email address.
Or maybe you're going on a trip and booking a ticket at Margie's Travel Agency. To do this, you could use this email address: j.doe+margiestravel@example.com.
Now, if for some reason Contoso gets hacked and all customer data is stolen, it's very likely that you will receive all sorts of obscure emails afterward. Fake emails that appear to come from your bank, for example. If the recipient's address is listed as j.doe+contoso@example.com instead of your regular email address, you know not to open the email or click any links. Instead, you should create a filter in your mail client or Webmail to delete such emails in the future.
Using different email addresses for various websites and services has the following benefits:
- Traceability: You know which email belongs to which website.
- Privacy: If companies exchange your personal data, it's much harder to combine them due to the use of different email addresses.
- Security: Even if you use the same password - !!! we advise against this !!! - criminals will have a harder time accessing your email account.
- Convenience: You don’t need to use your regular or multiple email addresses; instead, you can conveniently rely on the E-Mail Plus addresses.
Unfortunately, some websites claim that the "+" symbol is not allowed in email addresses. In that case, you can use alternatives like the tilde (~), equal sign (=), percent sign (%), or the number 8 instead of the plus symbol.
Why shouldn't I use the number "8" in email addresses?

How can I check the storage space on my mail and web server?
How can lost files/emails be restored?
Should I use POP3 or IMAP to retrieve emails?
All our hosting products include access via POP3, IMAP, and Webmail. We recommend IMAP. POP3: With POP3, emails are transferred from our servers to your computer and then deleted from our servers. This saves storage space on MyWebspace. However, if you lose your data due to a hard drive failure, virus infection, theft, etc., your email correspondence will also be lost.
What payment methods are available?
How can I set up an automatic HTTPS redirection?
All communication within the MyWebspace infrastructure is conducted over encrypted SSL connections.
Why do you need so much personal information to register a domain?
I can't log in to the server. What can I do?
You've probably tried to log into our server multiple times. We've increased the security of our access points, so login attempts are blocked after the 15th attempt. In this case, please wait 12 minutes, and then the access will be unblocked.
Can multiple websites be hosted on one account?
Yes, you can host as many websites as you like on your account. However, resale to third parties is not allowed.
Additionally, you can also purchase as many domains as you need with your hosting package. For each domain, the server directory where the domain is hosted (DocumentRoot) can be individually configured.
I want to switch my domain/website to MyWebspace. How does that work?
We don't currently offer automatic domain transfers, so please contact us via the contact form. We'll take care of everything else. Besides the usual domain costs, there are no additional fees for domain transfers.
I want to transfer my domain/website to MyWebspace. How does that work?
We currently don't offer automatic domain transfers, so please contact us through the contact form. We will handle everything else from there. Apart from the usual domain costs, there are no extra fees for the domain transfer.
For all domains except .at, you will need an authorization code (Auth-Code) from your current provider. If you can get this code in advance, the transfer will be much faster.
If you already have a website or email address with your old provider, we can also transfer those. Depending on the effort involved, additional costs may apply, which we will clarify with you beforehand.
Can you design a website or develop a web application for me?
Is the web server compatible with CMS systems like Wordpress, Drupal, etc.?
For Drupal or Backdrop experts, we also have administrative tools like "Drush" and "Bee" installed, which can be used via the shell.
How do I get more storage space, email addresses, domains?
If you need more email addresses, email aliases, storage space, etc., please contact us. We are happy to provide you with an offer.
