The VPS has a very good performance for the money. Decided to move from Digitalocean. I have the same performance and configuration but for 10EUR, instead of 28USD at Digitalocean. Using for ~80 days,... See more

Hello Joel,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I'm sorry to hear how frustrating this has been for you, especially after multiple attempts to get help with pointing your domain to your new website. Not hearing back after phone calls and service tickets is understandably disheartening, and that's not the kind of experience we want for our customers.

Your domain setup matters, and we want to make sure this gets the attention it deserves. We've sent you a message via Trustpilot to get your contact details so we can follow up directly and look into the current status of your domain pointing. If this is already resolved, that's great, but if not, we'd love to dig into this with you and get things moving.

Kind regards,
DomainFactory

20 Years of Trust Lost

We have been working with domainfactory as an agency for over 20 years, and what has happened since the GoDaddy acquisition is nothing short of a disaster. The service used to be reliable, competent, and agency-friendly, but today everything feels disconnected from professional needs. The most serious issue is the introduction of paid mailboxes. For a school with around 100 mailboxes, the monthly costs increase from €10 to €110. After two decades as an agency client, this is where it ends.

It's okay, as long as you don't want to leave...

I had already moved my Mailbox to another provider, but the web hosting was actually okay (static websites don't require much), but there are definitely better and cheaper providers if you don't need email hosting, so I decided to cancel my subscription. The cancellation process was a nightmare.

No service, no one cares

Domainfactory forced a server change on my account and with this they broke a lot of things:

They broke 2 of my websites and the MX record for one domain.

But the core problem is that they don't care at all. The hotline is crazy incompetent. The person I spoke to did not even intellectually understand what the issue was.

My service tickets have been ignored for over a week, nobody is replying or caring.

I have been a customer for over 20 years and in the beginning the company was rock solid. I really don't know what happened here but it's really bad.

Hello,

Thank you for sharing your concern about your domain purchase experience. Domain registration typically processes quickly, but there are several factors that might affect activation time, including payment processing, domain verification requirements, and specific registry processing times.

For new customers, the domain registration process may include verification steps as outlined in our ordering process FAQ. Some domain extensions also require additional verification procedures that can extend the activation time.

We'd like to assist you with resolving this issue. Please contact our technical support team directly via the support portal in your customer account, where they can investigate your specific order and provide you with detailed status information about your domain.

For most domain registrations, our system processes them promptly after payment confirmation. If you're experiencing a delay beyond the standard processing time, our support team can help identify and address any specific issues with your order.

Kind regards,
DomainFactory

Domainfactory used to be good

Customer of over 10 years here. Domainfactory used to be good but is trash now. Instead of sticking with what works they keep switching around their software stack, completely breaking customer setups in the process. This summer they shut down their own imap/pop3/smtp email system, moving everything to a disgustingly bad Office 365 alternative, leaving our rather elaborate email setup in a completely broken state. I used to have a catchall email for my domain - having that is also is no longer possible it seems. I wrote them a ticket about this on august 5 to which they simply didn't answer for over 2 months now.

[Update:] Based on the official response of this review I have re-contacted Domainfactory, and after 1 response and leaving my main concern unanswered they closed the ticket because, and I quote, "they have too many tickets" 🤦‍♂️

Hello Tyron,
Thank you for your honest feedback. We take your experiences with the email migration to Microsoft 365 very seriously. Switching to a new platform can indeed require adjustments to existing email setups.

Regarding your catchall function: In Microsoft 365, alternative solutions are possible through forwarding or shared mailboxes that can provide similar functionality. More information can be found here: https://www.df.eu/de/support/df-faq/microsoft-365/einstellungen-von-e-mail-m365-aendern/

For faster processing of your concern from August 5, we ask that you contact our support directly with your ticket ID. This way, we can specifically look into your case and offer a solution for your email setup.

We continuously develop our services and greatly appreciate your feedback as a long-term customer.

Kind regards,
DomainFactory

Undocumented outages and forced transition to Exchange

I've been a customer of DomainFactory (and previously of domain*go before it was absorbed into DomainFactory), but the changes over the past year(s) have led me to cancel all my contracts with them. My reasons are:
- I've experienced multiple email service outages this year, each of which DomainFactory acknowledged as their fault, yet none appeared on their official status page. That is a massive breach of trust. I could live with occasional outages, but a provider that is not transparent about technical issues undermines confidence. DomainFactory has had a similar scandal before, which shows they've learned nothing.
- DomainFactory has stopped supporting simple IMAP/POP3/SMTP accounts. Instead, they are forcing customers into Microsoft-hosted Exchange accounts, each incurring additional fees. The communication around this change was poor, and I find the decision disappointing—especially given Europe's stated goal of greater digital sovereignty.
- My experience with the support team has been abysmal, at times bordering on gaslighting.

I've been a happy customer for almost 2 decades.
Not any longer.
The last few days they migrated their systems to a Microsoft based platform (no option to bail out). I lost all my aliases, and e-mails didn't reach the new accounts any longer even though I followed all their instructions.
Now they also migrate to a new platform. This time with an option: you can object, in which case your account will be disabled soon in the future.
And basically you get a lot less for a higher price.
I strongly object to this kind of 'customer-orientation'. I moved all my e-mail accounts to another provider and cancelled everything from DF.
It's a 'NO' from me

I have been a customer for about 20 years. In the last few years the support got worse and worse. Now they migrated everything and you need to pay extra for email and even SSL.

On the Homepage its stated that SSL is included but when you try to apply it, you have to pay. Customer support just closes my tickets when i ask them about this issue
