🚀 v0.0.1 — Hello, Netz0

This is the very first release of the new Netz0 platform, and it is a big one. We have brought everything together under a single, modern account: register domains, manage your DNS, order hosting and email, pay your bills, get support, and earn rewards, all in one place. Available in English, German, and Spanish.

We are super excited to share this update, but fair warning: this is version 0.0.1. We are moving fast, so you might run into a few rough edges as we keep improving things. That said, the foundation is solid, and we are already rolling out updates regularly.

Behind the scenes, we completely rebuilt Netz0 from the ground up. Every page and control panel has been optimized for speed, and the difference is immediately noticeable. The whole experience should feel much snappier now.

Your account data has been fully migrated! You can log in with your existing username and password. Nothing changed there. All your domains, hosting products, invoices, and other data have been transferred over seamlessly.

Just a heads-up: support tickets will not be migrated, but you can still access them on the legacy site for now.

You can still reach the old version of the site at legacy.netz0.com while we finish moving everything over. Thanks for your patience during the transition.

🌐 Domains

  • Register, transfer, and renew domains end-to-end, with a clear status for every domain you own.

  • Instant availability search so you can find the right name in seconds.

  • Public WHOIS lookup for any domain, with results shared across search, transfer, and lookup pages.

  • Domain locking to protect against unauthorized transfers.

  • Full nameserver control, with helpful checks to catch mistakes before they cause downtime.

  • Contact and registrant management using reusable contact profiles. Set defaults and update registrant, technical, and billing contacts in one place.

  • URL redirects to point your domain wherever you need it. Email forwarding is coming very soon.

  • Domain ownership verification and renewal reminders, so nothing important slips through the cracks.

🗂️ DNS

  • Two editors, one zone. A simple inline editor for everyday changes and an advanced editor for power users. Switch between them anytime.

  • Friendly, plan-aware caching options with human-readable TTL explanations.

  • All the record types you would expect, including reverse DNS (PTR) records on higher plans.

  • Keyboard-friendly editing. Press Enter to save, Esc to cancel.

  • Domain-level tools: monitoring toggles, auth code generation, WHOIS privacy, auto-renew, deactivation, and in-panel transfers.
