Extend your hosting: Order extra options and addons in the Client Area
If your existing hosting package no longer covers all requirements, you do not always need to switch to a different package immediately. In many cases, specific functions can be added through extra options, also called addons. Depending on the offer, such extensions may include additional security functions, professional spam filtering, dedicated IP addresses or other product-related services.
Addons help you extend an existing hosting product in a targeted way. Instead of changing the entire hosting package, you can add individual functions if they are available for your product and compatible with your current service. The order is placed directly through the CURIAWEB Client Area.
Briefly explained: What are extra options?
Extra options are additional services for an existing product. In the Client Area, they are often listed as addons. They extend an existing hosting product or another service with specific functions, without necessarily requiring a change of the main product.
When are addons useful?
Addons are especially useful when you need a specific additional function but your current hosting package otherwise still fits your needs. This may be the case if you want to improve email protection, use additional security mechanisms or add a technical extension for a specific project.
For growing websites, online shops or business email addresses, addons can also be helpful. They make it possible to extend selected functions without immediately changing all settings, contracts or technical foundations of your hosting.
Important: Which extra options are available depends on the product, the current configuration and the CURIAWEB offer. In the Client Area, you will see the options that are available or orderable for your products.
Examples of possible hosting extensions
Depending on the product, different extensions may be offered in the Client Area. These may include professional spam filters such as SpamExperts, dedicated IP addresses or additional security functions. Such services are intended to cover specific technical or organisational requirements more precisely.
A professional spam filter can be useful, for example, if you receive many business emails and want to improve protection against unwanted messages. A dedicated IP address may be relevant in certain technical scenarios. Additional security functions can help align a hosting product more closely with your individual requirements.
Whether a specific extra option is available for your product and which requirements apply can be seen in the order area or in the description of the additional service.
How to find addons in the CURIAWEB Client Area
The available addons are shown in the CURIAWEB Client Area in the section for services and extra options. There you can check which extensions are offered for your existing products.
Overview of the steps:
- Log in to the CURIAWEB Client Area.
- Navigate to “Services”.
- Select “Order Addons”.
- Review the available extensions shown.
- Select the desired extra option.
- Follow the order process in the Client Area.
- Complete the order and payment as displayed.
After the order is completed, the extra option is assigned to your customer account or to the relevant product. Depending on the type of extension, provisioning may be automatic or may require manual review or setup by CURIAWEB.
Compatibility with existing products
Not every addon is compatible with every product. Some extensions are only available for specific hosting packages, technical environments or contract types. The Client Area usually displays available options based on your existing products.
If a desired option is not shown, this may mean that it is not available for your current product or that another solution would be more suitable. In such cases, CURIAWEB Support can check which options are possible.
Tip: Before ordering, check which product the addon will be booked for. Especially if you have several hosting products in the same Client Area, it is important to assign the extension to the correct service.
Provisioning after ordering
Many addons can be provisioned promptly after a successful order and payment. However, depending on the type of service, manual setup may be required. This is especially the case when technical adjustments, checks or individual configurations are necessary.
If manual setup is required, you will usually receive information about the next steps. Depending on the process, this may happen through the Client Area, by email or via a support ticket. This keeps you informed about the progress of the provisioning.
Before ordering: Check your requirements
Before ordering an extra option, you should briefly check what you want to achieve with it. Is the goal better spam protection? Do you need a specific technical requirement? Do you want to improve the security of your hosting? A clear objective helps you select the right extension.
Read the description of the addon carefully and pay attention to duration, costs, technical requirements and possible effects on existing services. If you are unsure whether a specific extension is suitable for your project, it is advisable to contact CURIAWEB Support before ordering.
Addon or package upgrade?
In some cases, an addon is the best solution because only one specific function needs to be added. In other cases, switching to another hosting package may be more appropriate, especially if you permanently need more resources, more performance or several additional functions.
Addons are particularly suitable for targeted extensions. A package upgrade is more relevant when the requirements of your project have changed fundamentally. Which option is more suitable technically and economically depends on the specific need.
What if you cannot find the desired extension?
If you do not see the desired extension under “Order Addons”, first check whether you are logged in to the correct customer account and whether the relevant product is active. An addon may only be displayed for certain products.
If you still cannot find the desired service, contact CURIAWEB Support. Describe as precisely as possible which function you need and for which product the extension is intended. This makes it easier to check whether a suitable addon, an alternative solution or a package upgrade is possible.
Summary
Extra options, also called addons, extend an existing CURIAWEB hosting product with additional functions. You can find available extensions in the Client Area under “Services” > “Order Addons”. Select the desired option and follow the order process. Depending on the addon, provisioning may be automatic or require manual setup. Before ordering, always check whether the option is assigned to the correct product and whether it actually meets your requirements.
