Host Europe's FAQ can be summarized as follows: Go to hell!

I don't want my email accounts to be migrated to Microsoft 365? What can I do?

If you do not want your email accounts to be migrated to Microsoft 365, proceed as follows.

Situation 1: You do not want email migration to Microsoft 365, but you do want hosting migration to cPanel

• Please contact support via a KIS support request.
  
• However, a solution must be found for your email accounts. You can move your emails to another solution at Host Europe or to an external provider by yourself.

Situation 2: You do not want either the email migration to Microsoft 365 or the hosting migration to cPanel

• To avoid being migrated, cancel your package. We will then exclude your package from the migrations.
• You can easily cancel your contract in the KIS: Product Admin – Contract Overview

@switchingsoftware I was a decade-long customer there until they moved the vservers to france in october 2015. I was a huge fan before that, I recommended them to at least four people who became customers.

When the GoDaddy acquisition was announced in 2016 I was *so* glad that I had dodged that particular bullet early.

Domainfactory hatte letztes Jahr einen fast 80 Stunden langen Ausfall im Mailsystem.
Einzige Reaktion: Ja, Mei. Festenplattenfehler, kann man nix machen, schönen Tag noch…
Daß sie damit ihre SLA um fast den Faktor 10 gerissen haben, egal.

Mein Tipp: Finger weg von domainfactory und alles was mit HostEurope und Godaddy irgendwie zusammenhängt.

@switchingsoftware velia.net isn’t associated with Host Europe anymore

They were bought by Godaddy some time ago and are now independent again

@switchingsoftware Just asked them, if it was already April 1st. Can't imagine any small business will support this. Asked them to revert this.

... Just learning what an EPP code is and how it is used.

@switchingsoftware How about switching emails to an excellent, steady and reliable hosting cooperative, that operates IT infrastructure as common property also in the future: Hostsharing.net @hostsharing

@switchingsoftware @foosel I think, even if their TOS allow it, the move is illegal. Are they doing this to get rid of small customers?

In my Host Europe package I host mailboxes for around 15 relatives, teenagers and 85 year olds. They do not know how to backup their IMAP folders locally, I cannot help all remotely. Also, I pay for email hosting already. Why should I now pay for each mailbox additionally?

@switchingsoftware

Block the move. Make it illegal. It is illegal. Enforce the law, stop this illegal sharing.

In the list of recommended alternatives, I miss @hostsharing A German cooperative for web-, mail-, etc. hosting. I'm posting this from hostsharings mastodon instance. It's great. Become a member, and use it.
