Why are your prices sometimes way below cost? |
| |
|
We specialize in providing a quality hosting package. Most providers
will charge you the same amount for less space and less features.
You will have enough storage space for your future needs. You will
be able to use any website design software to upload your work to
the servers.
As far as pricing goes, we are always very competitive. We try to
make our packages as low cost as possible to invite more customers
to enjoy what they can get and do with our hosting package! Our
prices are better than competitive simply to increase our exposure.

| |
2. |
Do we place any kind of advertisements on your web site?
|
| |
|
No. Your web site is ad-free! Our prices are lower than most to increase exposure, not
to place a flashy ad that takes away from your site. Word of mouth goes a long way.
|
| |
3. |
How well is your quality and support? |
| |
|
We know that there are people that may be
new to being hosted and price isn't everything, that is
why we provide online help documentation. You should read all
documentation and if you still have problems after reading
Facts for Support and your CP
Documentation,
we will work hard to correct them. You may use the
Contact EayOK Hosting
page.

Can I use my account for commercial purposes?
|
| |
|
Yes, you can use your
account for commercial purposes. The World Wide Web has become the
most efficient and cost-effective means of making information
available to the users of the Internet community and we encourage
our customers to utilize such an enormous medium.

| |
6. |
Can I subdivide my space and resell it? |
| |

No, this is called reselling. We don't have reselling plans. However, you are allowed to
use subdomains (http://aname.yourdomain.com).

Can I access my domain address with or without the "www"?
|

to access the domain address with or without the "www" in front of
the domain name. Example: [http://www.your-name.com] or
[http://your-name.com] is acceptable, whichever you prefer.

Do you handle the domain registration process? |

9. |
When I register a domain name who will have ownership of it?
|
| |
|
When you register a
domain name with a registrar, YOU will have full ownership of your
domain name. This means that you can move your domain name somewhere
else or modify it however you want. You have full control over that.
If you use our Domain Service, the domain still belongs to you.

|
Primary Name Server: |
NS1.EAYOK-HOSTING.COM [38.114.169.32] |

| |
11.. |
Why do I see "Index of /myusername" when I type in my domain name?
|
| |
|
The reason you see "Index of /yourusername" is because the server is already
setup and ready for you to publish your website. If you do not
have your homepage named "index.html" after you uploaded your site, you will see
"Index of /yourusername". You must name
your homepage "index.html" to see your website up. Some servers use
"default.htm" or "home.htm", but that will not work on our server.
If you have an index.htm, rename it to index.html.
Just publish your index.html and it will replace what you initially got on your
screen.
Back to Top |
| |
12. |
Can I transfer an existing domain to your servers? |
| |
|
Yes, just be sure to
specify that you are requesting a transfer and NOT a new domain on
your order. You should keep the service with your current provider
while waiting for your new registrar to complete the transfer process.
If you registered
your domain name with a registrar other than Network Solutions the
process is a little bit different. You will need to contact that
registrar.
Back to Top |
| |
13. |
How long does it take before my domain name is active?
|
| |
|
Once your domain name
has been registered (or transferred, if applicable), it usually
takes about 48-72 hours before it is active. All Internet providers
must update their records (DNS tables) to reflect the new site's
location.

| |
14. |
What is a Virtual Domain? |
| |
|
A Virtual Domain
means having your own domain name (http://www.your-name.com) hosted
on a company's servers. Servers and the software are very expensive.
They need exceptional connectivity as they are always running. With
a Virtual Domain, you utilize our server's without that kind
of expense. You are still professionally represented via your own
personal Internet web address domain name (www.your-name.com) and by
your own personal e-mail address domain name (you@your-name.com).
You should check
Networksolutions
"WHOIS"
service to make sure that your desired domain name is available.
ALSO, to search for and buy a domain name for less money
($8.95 per year), go to
www.godaddy.com.

Do you offer dial-up Internet access?
|
| |
|
No, you will need
local Internet access in order to maintain your web site and
retrieve email addressed to your site.
Back to Top |
| |
16. |
How do I transfer files to my web site?
|
| |
|
Files must be
transferred to the web server via File Transport Protocol (FTP) or
your account's web-based Control Panel. If you need FTP, mail, or
other Internet software, visit
ZDNet Software Library.
ZDNet Software Library is a source for the latest Internet
applications with ratings and reviews to help you decide which
application is best suited for your needs. We also provide a
web-based Control Panel to make it even easier for you to upload
your files.
If you use FrontPage,
just click FILE, Publish Web.

| |
17. |
How would I create pop e-mails?
|
| |
|
You will create these accounts through a web-based administration
area
that allows you to create, delete and modify your own mail settings.
This includes Pop3 e-mail, e-mail forwarding, e-mail aliasing, autoresponders, and mailing list. The process of creating an e-mail
account is very simple. You would simply click "Create Pop Account"
and then enter your username and password.

I
uploaded my new webpage, but I still see the old one, what is wrong?
|
| |
|
If you have just uploaded a new website, or a new file to one of
your folders, and then you go to your website through your website,
you may still see your old webpage, as your browser will be pulling
information from your Temporary Internet Folder / Cache. To resolve
this problem, empty your Temporary Internet Folder and go to your
webpage and click the "refresh" button on your browser. This is
applicable to Internet Explorer (IE) only. Users on Netscape should
not have this problem.
Back to Top |
| |
19. |
Will I have unlimited access to update my pages? |
| |
|
You have unlimited
access via FrontPage Publish or FTP 24-hours a day. As such, you can create and maintain
your web pages on your own computer and upload files to your web
site at your leisure.

How long does it take to set up a new account? |
| |
|

setup in 48 hours or less from the
time we receive your order. Once an account is set up an activation
notice will be sent to you via email including your username,
password. You can begin uploading files to your new web site
immediately.

How is billing handled? |
| |
|
Billing is handled on
a yearly subscription. You may pay by credit card or check through a
secure server. Our Merchant is PayPal. When your time for renewal
comes, you will automatically be notified. You do not have to belong
to PayPal to pay for our services, however, you should consider
becoming a member yourself as PayPal offers outstanding features
that would benefit you in many ways.
You can also send us
a check for your subscription by US Mail. Remember that it takes 14
days for your check to clear before we setup your domain in another
2 days.

(your website) can have numerous ftp accounts for free. Each ftp
account you setup in your control panel will have it's own login.

How do I get a domain name?
|
| |
|
Through a registrar. Go to
WHOIS | VeriSign to see if the name you want is available. You
may also purchase the name through them or any other registrar.
Back to Top |
| |
31. |
How can I change my accounts domain name if it was already taken by
another owner?
|
| |
|
The
first thing to remember is that you must register a domain name. It
takes up to 48 hours before it is displayed throughout the web.
Check this after the first 12 hours by going to
WHOIS | VeriSign or until your domain is
displayed. Whois will have all the DNS info on it.
If you order an account, and the domain name you signed up with has
been either registered by someone else or needs to be changed due to
any reason, we will have to delete that account from our servers and
setup a new account. You will be charged another setup fee as this
involves our time. To be safe from another setup fee, make sure that
the domain is yours first.

Why can't I publish with FrontPage?
|
| |
|
Make sure your account meets the following guidelines:
 |
Your domain's DNS is pointing towards our server. |
 |
You are publishing to http://www.yourdomain.com |
 |
You have requested that your FrontPage extensions be installed. |
 |
You are using another username rather than your given username.
Please note, you will use the same Login for FTP, Frontpage or other editor, cPanel
access and your main email account. |

Do you support PHP-Nuke? |
| |
|
Currently we do not allow PHP-Nuke on our system. This program is
not yet bug-free, and it sometimes causes problems with the MySQL
system. As soon as we are sure that PHP-Nuke is a very stable
program that does not bog down server resources, we will allow this
program to be used on our servers.

| |
35. |
Do you offer Telnet or SSH access?
|
| |
|
Currently we do not allow Telnet or SSH access on our servers. It causes
the vulnerability of hacks as well as script based utilities for
misuse.
Back to Top |
| |
36. |
Can I switch my main domain.com for my account?
|
| |
|
Yes you can switch yourdomain.com for newdomain.com, but this requires us to re create your account under the newdomain.com
which is a new setup charge a $50 to re-setup for this process which takes time and our
employees must get paid. Your
yearly subscription is already paid by you, so, you would not have to pay for another
subscription.
Back to Top |
| |
37. |
What if I exceed my limit or want more bandwidth? |
| |
|
Most subscribers won't have to worry about this as we offer generous
bandwidth. When you go over your bandwidth limit you receive a
notice letting you know you have gone over. We charge $5 per extra
3 Gigabyte of bandwidth. We do not
limit the amount you can have, although we do charge for the extra or excessive
bandwidth usages. If you upload several times and get 3000 hits per week, you will not
go over your 5 GB's of bandwidth limit. However, if you use bulletin board,
postings or chat rooms on your site and it is popular, that will add to the bandwidth
usage.

Can children use web
space hosted by you? |
| |
|
No. You must be at least 18 years
old. This restriction is implemented because children may be exposed
to unwanted targets. Parents can supervise their underage children
but we can not.
