Frequently Asked Questions
Click on a Question for The Answer.
|
|
| Why HostingBay's prices are so cheap? Is there any catch? |
First of all, with our huge purchasing power and long established relationships with our global business associates, we are able to get our network resources at very competitive prices. And we pass these savings on to our Australian customers. We're straight shooters. There are no tricks in what we do, just good, old-fashioned, reliable business principles. Second, we run a tight ship. We choose our promotions carefully and ensure every advertising dollar pays for itself; we streamline our systems. We also don't waste money on unnecessary things like toll-free telephone numbers that are often abused anyway. |
|
|
| Is My First Month really Free? When do I start to get charged? |
Your First Month IS Absolutely Free. Your Credit Card Will NOT get charged until the anniversary date of the first calendar month. |
|
|
| Why do you offer First Month Free? It sounds too good to be true! |
At HostingBay, we fully understand how busy small business owners are, and that you need time to check out our offer properly. Your first free month gives you breathing space so you can tweak and change your web site, and try out many of the features we include at no extra charge. We also believe 'A Thousand Miles Journey Starts with a Single Step'. That First Step is often the hardest for most of us to start a new journey. We are happy give you a helping hand when you start out so our new customers will stay with us and we will build our businesses together in long term. |
|
|
| Are the prices in Australian Dollars or U.S. Dollars? |
All prices are in Australian Dollars |
|
|
| Are the prices G.S.T. Inclusive? |
All prices are GST inclusive. |
|
|
| What would happen if my web site Exceeds the Account Limits?
|
If your web site usage (Web Space and/or Traffic) hits the Limit of your Current Plan, you will be notified by email. You may then reduce your usage or upgrade your plan accordingly. |
|
|
| Can I host my web site with HostingBay if I already have my Domain Name? |
Of course. It's even easier if you already have your domain name registered. All you need to do is to point your domain name to our server after you sign up an account with us by setting the DNS (Domain Name Server) Entries to:
NameServer1: ns1.hostingbay.net (66.98.130.28)
NameServer2: ns2.hostingbay.net (66.135.33.6)
Please do not enter the IP addresses (66.98.130.28/66.135.33.6) unless asked.
|
|
|
| Can I host Full Domain names with HostingBay? |
| Of course, this is what we do. Your web site will be 'YourDomainName.com.au' or 'YourBusiness.com.au' etc.
|
|
|
| Would I have Banner Ads or anything that I don't want on my web site? |
Absolutely Not. Your web site is yours. We don't add anything to it. |
|
|
| How long does it take to have my account activated?
|
Your account will be activated instantly. You can start setting up your web site right away unless you have just registered your domain Name.
The newly registered Domain name or one that you are transferring to Hosting Bay from another hosting service provider may take up to 72 hours (usually much less) to fully register around the Net. This is because of safeguards built in to the Net for your protection. There is no way to speed up this process. But this should not hold you up with the preparation of your web site.
|
|
|
| What DNS Settings do I use to point my Domain to your Server? |
When you register a New Domain name or Transfer your Existing Domain name to our network, you need to enter/change the DNS (Domain Name Server) Settings to the following:
NameServer1: ns1.hostingbay.net (66.98.130.28)
NameServer2: ns2.hostingbay.net (66.135.33.6)
Please do not enter the IP addresses (66.98.130.28/66.135.33.6) unless asked.
