How fast can I move my services to you?

Q. How fast can I move my services to you?

Ans. Your new account would be active within 60 seconds of signing up online, but the domain name would take approximately 24 hours to switchover. Once you’re account is active, you can publish your website to your new server and then switch the domain; it is possible to have your services moved within 24 hours.

Do I have to have a domain to use your services?

Q. Do I need to have a domain name to use your services?

Ans. We currently do require you to have a domain name to use our services. If you do not have a domain name, we can help you find a domain name and register it for you if it is available. Our order system will provide you with a list of available domains to choose with different TLD’s.

Can I use my previously purchased domain name with your services?

Q. Can I use my previously purchased domain name with your services?

Ans. Yes, you can use previously purchased domain name from anywhere with our services. We won’t charge you to host an existing domain with us, as we do not require that the domain be transferred to us. You would only be required to enter the domain in the first phase of the order system and then acknowledge that you are the owner of that domain. After your new account has been created, we will e-mail detailed instructions on how to activate your new service using the existing domain.

Can I change my domain later?

Q. Can I change my domain name later?

Ans. Yes, you can change the domain name on your account at any time you desire; however, you would need to pay the applicable registration fees to register a new domain name or the applicable domain transfer fees to transfer your existing domain to our hosting. The domain you originally purchased at the time of sign-up cannot be refunded and cannot be changed for a different domain; a new domain must be registered.

Q. Do your servers support Ruby on Rails framework? How do I go about with the installation of Ruby on Rails?

Ans. We have started supporting Ruby on Rails on all our servers and we have managed to understand its working completely as it seems to be a new trend in the web hosting industry. About the installation, Ruby on Rails is already installed on our new servers. So if you have recently setup your website with us your account should be on one of our new servers with Ruby on Rails already installed. You can also refer to this Ruby on Rails installation guide for more information on Installation of Ruby on Rails.

Q. Which Spam Filter you have installed on your servers?

Do I need to transfer my domain to you prior to purchasing a reseller package?

Q. Do I need to transfer my domain prior to purchasing a web hosting package?

If you wish to keep control of your domain name through some other provider, choose the option “I will update my nameservers only option at the time of hosting package sign-up. If you wish to transfer the domain name under our registration then choose the option “Transfer my Existing Domain name” at the time of sign-up, as that would allow us to initiate a transfer request for your domain name. Automated requests are initiated in that case and your domain name is received under our registry along with 1 year renewal. Your hosting account would be setup in less than 15 minutes but domain transfer may take 24 - 48 hours.

Our support staff can assist you with transfer of your accounts as well so you don’t need to worry much about the data transfer part.
