Expiration IP / Expiration URL

As you have already read in our feature description of the "expiration time", we neutralise your account when a planned account update is not carried out or could not be carried out.
The standard procedure is that we assign a neutral IP to your account on which no service (email server, FTP server etc) is running. If you account is accessed via a web browser, we present a neutral page on which the surfer is informed that the page is not currently available. Better to give the user of your internet service a message than have him unintentionally land on someone else's server.

With the features "expiration IP" and "expiration-URL" you have the possibility to determine the configuration of your account when neutralisation takes place.

As already described, in the case of HTTP access we present a neutral information page. You can use the expiration URL feature to route the web access to a page you have defined, where you can provide a company logo - i.e. maintaining your corporate identity - and notify users about temporary maintenance etc.

The expiration IP enables you to route all access to your account to another static IP after neutralisation takes place. If you have a dedicated server, you can thus offer alternate services.

The expiration-URL feature is, for technical reasons, only possible for web access. Also, the two features cannot be combined.


Resumé:
If regular account updates do not take place, the standard procedure is that we configure your account with a neutral IP. For web access we present a neutral page with the notice that your are temporarily unavailable.
The expiration IP and expiration URL features allow you to determine how we configure your account if a neutralisation takes place, i.e. you can redirect access to your account.
