Do I have to buy
a domain name (i.e. .com, .net, .org)?
It is recommended.
They are only $10 per year and will give a personal touch to your site.
However, we also offer sites without domain names at our awesome virtual
hosting domain phatsite.com. So, in this case, your site would be yourname.phatsite.com
or yourname.hostingbits.com.
Do you register the
domain names?
Yes. We will
also automatically activate your account after domain registration.
I already own a domain
name I would like to use, what do I need to do to use it with Hosting
Bits?
You just need
to configure the DNS Servers to our DNS Servers.
Set them to:
ns1.hostingbits.com 69.93.101.218
ns2.hostingbits.com 69.93.101.219
I placed an
order and I received my information, but I still cannot access
my server. I tried to go to http://www.yourdomain.com but I cannot
reach the site. What is the problem?
Please make sure you have configured the DNS Servers
for the domain name if you haven't so already. You can do this
by setting the name servers to the addresses above this question.
After this is configured, it might take anywhere from 12-72 hours
for the change to implement. In the meantime, you can start uploading
your website and working on it through the link we provided you
in the email.
How do I access CPanel?
http://www.yourdomain.com/cpanel/
If you are waiting for your domain to propagate, please wait 12-72 hours
before trying to access CPanel.
