    Default hosting foreign web domain in uk?

    My wife's company has arms in USA, UK,Germany and Italy among others. The Italy arm bought the .de version of their main company name. Can a .de domain be hosted in uk or are they restricted to being hosted in the original country or region. I ask as thre or four uk web hosting services have said that they cannot host a .de domain. Am I right in thinking that the best thing to do is transfer the domain from the italian arm to the German arm? Sorry to ask but this is deffinitely not my area of expertise.

    You can host a domain anywhere. just point the nameservers to the hosts regardless of location.

    You are correct that this can be problematic as a lot of uk based ISP's don't host foriegn tld's. for example, most of my hosting is on 1and1 or free parking but none of these could host my www.eazi.it domain. to do this I have use eurodns.com to host the dns and then point at my uk based servers IP.

    Any host that isnt a budget host (1and1) etc. would be able to host this without problem.
