Practical Netcup guides: DNS, firewall, API, Nextcloud and mail — each with a command, checklist or generator and official sources.
From the first A record to the DynDNS update: this guide shows the order, common mistakes and how to verify every change with dig.
The SCP firewall is the first line of defence, but not a replacement for a host firewall. This guide shows the order, port 25 and the most important checks.
From a mailbox in web hosting to your own mail server: this guide shows the order, common ports and DNS checks for reliable delivery.
The Netcup API is split: CCP for DNS/domains and SCP for servers. This guide shows which API to use and how to start safely.
Nextcloud on a VPS or root server: a compact Docker stack, TLS via Caddy and a backup routine that actually restores.
Snapshots are not backups. This guide shows a 3-2-1-friendly routine with restic, database dumps and a real restore test.
Root access is powerful. This guide shows the order to harden SSH without locking yourself out.
Plesk is the management UI of your Netcup web hosting. This guide shows the most important tasks in the right order.
Proxmox VE runs on Netcup root servers, but not every virtualization type is available by default. This guide separates LXC from KVM and shows the checks.
Every guide starts with official prerequisites, then shows the steps in the Netcup panel or on the server, and ends with a verification step. Where useful, a generator supports the work.
Available now: DNS/DynDNS, SCP firewall, mail, API, Nextcloud, backup, SSH, Plesk and Proxmox.
The DNS guide includes a record builder for A, AAAA, CNAME, MX and TXT. Other tools connect to the existing utilities: latency test, VLAN configurator, server init and price calculator.
The DNS guide is the fastest entry: records, DynDNS and verification.
Independent guide with official sources.
No. They are independent guides. We link official Netcup help pages and mark assumptions. If they differ, the official documentation wins.
Login and support pages are navigational and prone to abuse. We point to the official Netcup access pages and cover the topic only in the FAQ.
Yes, but test them first in a staging environment. The guides show expected output and common mistakes; they do not replace your own backup.
