Technical support is the weak point, with bot-only live chat and slow ticket resolution on complex questions.
Checkdomain’s servers are based in Germany. The server node tested in this review was located in Dortmund. The company’s registered offices are in Lübeck, Germany.
Checkdomain does not advertise a money-back guarantee. EU consumer law provides a right of withdrawal that may apply depending on your location and whether the service has been activated. All web hosting plans carry a 12-month minimum contract with a 14-day cancellation notice period.
Yes. A website builder is included with all web hosting plans and allows template-based site creation without any programming. Checkdomain also sells a separate Website Service product for professionally built sites at a higher monthly rate.
Yes. WordPress installs via the built-in app installer in a few clicks. In testing, a WordPress site on the Business 7.0 plan scored 95% on GTmetrix from Germany with a 1.1-second LCP. Performance from the US drops to 77% without a CDN, which matters for sites targeting an international audience.
