Getting started

How do I register a domain with mathlabspace?

Go to Domain Search, enter the name you want, choose an available extension, and continue through checkout. After payment, the domain appears in your portfolio where you can manage DNS, privacy, and renewals.

How long does registration take?

Most generic extensions complete within minutes after successful payment. Some country-code or specialty TLDs may require extra verification and can take longer. You will receive email confirmation when the domain is active.

Can I register multiple domains at once?

Yes. Add several names to your cart and check out together. Bulk tools are useful for brand-protection sets and campaign launches.

Do I need hosting to register a domain?

No. You can register and hold a domain without hosting. When you are ready, point DNS or nameservers to your website or email provider.

DNS & website

Where do I edit DNS records?

Open your domain portfolio, select the domain, and open DNS Management. From there you can add or edit A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, and other supported records.

How long do DNS changes take?

Many updates appear within minutes, but full propagation can take up to 24–48 hours depending on TTL and resolver caches. Lower TTL ahead of planned migrations when possible.

What is the difference between nameservers and DNS records?

Nameservers decide which system is authoritative for your domain. DNS records are the individual instructions (website address, mail routing, verification text) stored in that system.

My website is down after a DNS edit. What should I check first?

Confirm you edited the correct domain, verify A/CNAME values with your host, check for conflicting records, and wait for TTL expiry. Roll back to the previous values if needed and contact support with screenshots.

Transfers

How do I transfer a domain to mathlabspace?

Unlock the domain at your current registrar, request the auth/EPP code, start the transfer on mathlabspace, and approve the confirmation email. Keep DNS unchanged during the move to reduce downtime risk.

How long do transfers take?

Many transfers complete within 5–7 days, though some finish sooner after both sides approve. Delays usually come from locked domains, wrong auth codes, or unconfirmed emails.

Will my website go offline during a transfer?

Not if nameservers remain pointed at your current host. A transfer changes registrar management, not hosting, unless you also change DNS.

Can I cancel a transfer in progress?

In many cases yes, from either registrar before completion. Contact support quickly with the domain name and transfer ID if you need help stopping or restarting a request.

Billing & renewals

When will my domain renew?

Domains renew on their anniversary date. With auto-renew enabled, we attempt payment before expiration using your default payment method and email a receipt afterward.

What happens if a renewal payment fails?

We retry and notify the account email. Update your card promptly. After expiration, domains may enter a grace or redemption period with extra fees before they become available to others.

Can I get a refund?

Refund eligibility depends on the extension and timing. Many domains are non-refundable after successful registration. See the Refund Policy or contact billing@mathlabspace.de for your specific order.

How do I change the payment method on file?

Sign in, open Billing, add a new card or alternate method, set it as default, and remove outdated methods. Confirm auto-renew domains still show the correct default method.

Security & privacy

What is domain lock?

Domain lock (ClientTransferProhibited) blocks unauthorized transfer requests. Keep it enabled unless you are actively transferring the domain.

How do I turn on two-factor authentication?

Sign in, open Security settings, enable 2FA, and pair an authenticator app. Save backup codes offline. Avoid SMS-only 2FA when better options are available.

I received an email saying my domain expires today. Is it real?

Maybe not. Phishing messages often create false urgency. Do not click links. Sign in through a bookmark and verify expiration dates inside your portfolio. Report suspicious mail to security@mathlabspace.de.

Does WHOIS privacy hide my ownership?

Privacy redacts public contact details while you remain the registrant on file with mathlabspace. It reduces spam exposure but does not replace account security controls.

Account & access

I cannot sign in. What should I do?

Use the password reset flow with your account email. If 2FA device access is lost, use backup codes. If those fail, contact support with account details and proof of ownership for recovery.

How do I change the account email address?

Update it in Account Settings and confirm both the old and new addresses if prompted. Keep registrar notices on an inbox you monitor daily.

Can multiple people manage one portfolio?

Yes for teams that need shared access. Use role-based permissions where available so not everyone can transfer or delete domains.

How do I close my account?

Transfer or allow domains to expire first, download invoices you need, then contact support to close the login. Domains must be handled before account closure.
