| Do
I have to transfer my domain to you ? |
- In order to host your Domain with CapitalHosts.com the DNS
(Domain Name Server) entries for the Domain Name in question
will need to be modified.
- You can do this by contacting your current
Host/ Registrar with a request to change the DNS
details for your Domain to those shown below:
|
| |
- Primary Nameserver: ns1.turbodns.co.uk
- Secondary Nameserver: ns2.turbodns.co.uk
|
| |
- If you have registered a UK
Domain Names (.co.uk/.org.uk/.me.uk) then the IPS Tag may also
need to be modified. The IPS Tag represents the ID of the company
who
manages your UK Domain
Name.
|
| |
- IPS Tag: S2CONSULTING
- You must contact us once you have requested
an IPS Tag change to S2CONSULTING.
|
| |
- Changing the IPS Tag of your Domain to S2CONSULTING
will give CapitalHosts.com the responsibility for billing when your
Domain Name Registration is due for renewal.
- Alternatively you can remain with your current Registrar who
will continue to bill you when your Domain Name Registration is
close to expiry.
|
| |
| What is the set up cost and do you have URL masking? |
- There is no set up cost. What you see is what you pay.
- There is no URL masking, your domain name will be linked directly
to your web space.
|
| |
| If I don't currently have a domain name what do
I set my URL to? |
- We will provide a FREE sub-domain along the lines of http://www.username.capitalhosts.com
which will point directly to your web space.
|
| |
| How do sub-domains on Business Hosting work? |
- Your domains and sub-domains will be set up in separate areas
with their own URLs and usernames.
- For example you might want to have www.mainsite.co.uk with
sub-domains of www.sales.mainsite.co.uk and www.help.mainsite.co.uk
each with their own allocation of space.
- You can also link multiple domains to the same area. For example
you might want both www.mainsite.co.uk and www.mainsite.com both
to point to your main area.
- Similarly you might want www.sales.mainsite.co.uk and www.shop.mainsite.co.uk
to point to the same area.
- The total allowance of web space can be divided up between
your main and sub-domains as required, subject to a 50MB minimum
on any division.
- You may only have one website section with a top level domain
name assigned to it. (i.e. All your registered domain names point
to the same section of web space).
- Each Business Account can have up to 5 sub-domains each with
a minimum of 50mb space per sub-domain.
- We do not allow you to divide your space up to sell on to other
people. This is a direct breach of our Terms and Conditions.
- If one or more of the sites are operated by a third party we
would consider that to be an unacceptable use of the server.
- If you are selling products via the website that we are hosting,
we consider this as business practice and expect you to purchase
a Business Account.
- If you are operating a Business but have only purchased a Standard
Hosting Account we will consider this a breach of our Terms and
Conditions. You will be contacted via email with the option to
upgrade to a Business Account.
