questions are answered in the
web tutorials
section of our support page. |
12. Which mode of support do you prefer,
email or telephone?
It has been proved that email
support is more effective, because all problems are documented and can
be tracked easily. Email is also available 24/7/365 where telephone is
limited to our actual business hours of operation. It is our goal to
handle all support requests within a 24 hour period. Once we have you up
and running, it is very rare for you to require support. |

will it take for my site to be set up on your servers after submitting
it through the Signup form?

an Wild Rose Hosting account. Fill out our online Order form and submit
it. We will notify you by email once your account is set up. |
14. Why am I
not able to see my web site even after 10-12 hours?
If you have modified the Name
Servers for your domain or signed up for a New Domain, it will take
24-48 hours for you to be able to see your site on our servers. The
reason for this delay is that when name servers are modified or a new
domain is registered, this information has to be propagated across the
Internet before you will be able to see the changes. |
15. How do I
transfer files to my web site?
Files can be transferred to the
web server using an FTP program (File Transfer Protocol). You can
download a program for either the PC or Mac from our site. Cute FTP is a
shareware FTP program, available from cuteftp.com . An FTP tutorial is
available for first time users.
Microsoft FrontPage users can 'publish' their sites to our server and
should not use FTP. |
16. Can my site be set up so that
www.mydomain.com and mydomain.com both point to the same web site?
By default www.domain.com and
domain.com will point to the same place. |

host international domains?
We host all domains authorized by
ICANN
including all TLDs and country codes. |

No, we specialize in web hosting.
You will need to get dialup access through your local ISP. |
22. Can I use both FrontPage and FTP to
upload my web site?
No, you can not use both FP and
FTP. If the FrontPage server extensions are enabled for your site then
please either only publish the web site with FrontPage or only use FTP.
If you try to use both FrontPage and FTP you will get permission denied
errors while uploading files. |
23. Can I
delete my admin user and recreate it?
No, if you delete your admin user
you will no longer have access to your web site and we will have to
delete and recreate the whole site. Please make sure that you do not
delete the admin user for your site. |
27. Are there any other fees I need to be
aware of relating to Domain Name registrations?
Additional fees will be required
in the following circumstances only:
a) Change of registrant: If you want to
change the ownership of a domain to another person or company, there is
a one time fee of $40CDN.
b) Dead email address for administrative contact:
This is the most important link to maintain the ownership of your
domain. Request for any change to the domain will be verified by sending
email to the administrative contact person. For any reason we need to
change this email address and you can not verify from the current email
address, you need to fax us two pieces of identification. This manual
process takes time and we charge $40CDN.
c) Creating Name Server:
You can have your own name servers for your domain. We can
register and maintain your name server for you. For example: your name
servers will be like these: ns1.yourdomain.com and ns2.yourdomain.com
with two unique dedicated IP addresses. The charge for this service is
$140CDNper year. If you provide your own IP addresses the cost will be
half of that. Name servers can be created only for .com and .net
domains.
d) Expired domain: If you fail to renew a
domain before the expiry date, still you can renew that domain by paying
additional fees. For the Domain Expiration Procedure
