Which Characters Can I Use In my Domain Name?
You have lot of flexibility in creating your domain name. You can use:
# Letters
# Numbers
# Hyphens (they can’t appear at the beginning or end of the domain name)
Using any combination of the above, you can have up to 67 characters in your domain name, including the extension (e.g., com, .net, .org). Characters that are not permitted in a domain name include:
• Spaces
• Special characters, e.g. @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) ? "
Tip: Use Pop up clients to reduce need for more space on the server
Generally emails that come to your account are stored on the hard disk of the server. If you leave all the mails on the server, than you need to buy a lot of space just for email storage and depending you the volume of mails you receive, in couple of months it may grow to many thousand MB (Mega Bytes).
We recommend you use a POP client to fetch all the mail you get to your personal computer. A POP client connects to you server and gets all the mail from the server to your local machine. Now you are using your server space only as a temporary store for your emails and this way you will only need about 10-20MB per email account.
You can use POP clients such as Outlook Express, Netscape, Eudora or Mozilla Thunderbird for fetching mails from the server.
We will send you all the information you need to download and configure POP clients in welcome email. You will get this mail after we have activated your hosting account.
How long does it take to get my domain working?
It usually takes 24-48 hours for a domain to fully propagate to all the name servers in the world.
When can I start using my hosting account?
You can start using your website hosting account
immediately after we create the account for you and you receive account
creation notification mail.
Do you allow adult sites or Gambling sites?
No, we do not allow
adult sites or gambling sites.
How to Lock or Unlock your Domain Name?
Domain Name Locking is a crucial security feature as it ensures that no one other than you can modify details of your Domain Name. Once you lock your domain name, no one can modify any associated information unless you unlock it.
With locking, you get following security features
1. No one can modify contact details and Name Servers of your Domain Name
2. No one can Suspended, delete or renew your domain name, until you remove this lock
3. A Transfer [Away] Request for this domain name to another Registrar will fail at the Registry itself and will not be allowed until the Domain is unlocked.
4. The Toolbar will display only the "Unlock Domain" button until the domain is unlocked.
Use following simple process to Locked or Unlocked your domain name

How much bandwidth do I need?
Bandwidth is the amount of data that your website can send to website visitors in one month. Bandwidth can be best described as gas/petrol for a car. If your website runs out of bandwidth nobody will be able to visit it. More than 95% of the websites do not need more than 500MB per month bandwidth.
You should plan for more bandwidth if you plan to use a lot of images, very high volume email accounts or audio/video on your website. Sites like mp3.com require an enormous amount of bandwidth, but for the average site - a low level will be enough in almost all cases

What kind of Redirect URL support do your hosting plans come with?
