NO, we do not allow adult sites, child pornography, nor adult content of any kind is not tolerated! Your account will be terminated without a refund.
Yes, we have no problem as long as those MP3’s and video files are legitimate. Please make sure you select the proper plan which allows it. We suggest a higher bandwidth and space plan because most likely, since its mp3s and videos they tend to be bigger files and once they are streamed they consume a lot of bandwidth.
Most Accounts are activated instantly! In the case we need to confirm billing, we will contact you. 99% of the time, account activation is instant!
Yes,if you already have a domain you can use it with our hosting plans. The first step is chossing the hosting plan of your choice. Then follow the steps to the order form. Select the option "I already have a domain I would like to use on the order form". Note this will not transfer your domain from your current registrar where you registered the domain, this will only transfer the hosting if it is already hosted. After you paid for the hosting you will receive an email with all your login information to the server. You MUST also login into your domain control panel where ever you registered the domain and modify the NAMESERVERS or DNS to ours, our nameservers will be in the welcome email, you must make those changes in order for your website to be live.
No. If you need more monthly data transfer, you need to upgrade your account. If you need extra bandwidth for only one month, please contact sales when you are about to exceed your limit.
The system has the capability to block sites that exceed their data transfer limit. This will be done at the owner's option of course, so you will have the choice to continue using more data transfer and pay more at the end of the month, or stop using more data transfer but no need to pay more at the end of the month.
Yes, we support subdomains. The amount of subdomains wil depend on the plan you purchase.
YES! Please refer to the hosting plans to see the number of domains allowed to be hosted on each account.
Please see your activation email, they are listed towards the bottom of the activation email titled "DNS Instructions"
If you have received a notification email and its been over 48 hours, it means that you either did not point your domain name to the right DNS servers or your ISP's DNS server has not yet been updated. It generally takes 24 hours for domain names to become active. This is just how the internet works; there is no way we can speed up the process.
Yes, we can install it for you. Please contact sales@hostingwithus.com to inquire the fee to set it up. We do not provide free support for the script, nor configuration and debugging your scripts.
We use www.cpanel.net , it has tremendous features. CPanel is a great tool that many hosting companies charge extra for, but we include it in all of our plans for free.
