Will InfoDesign Solutions, Inc. help register my domain name?
Yes. We can assist you in reserving your domain. We will do the research
to see if your domain name is available. If it is not registered, then
we will register the name for you and invoice you later. If it is registered,
we will try different variations of the name you would like until we
get the right one.
What if I already have a domain with another provider and want to host
with InfoDesign Solutions, Inc.?
We can transfer your domain to our servers. Since there are multiple
providers for obtaining domains, we will contact you with the specifics
on getting your domain updated and transferred. There is a $39.99 expedited
transferable fee and $10.00 transferable fee for normal transfer.
How quickly can my account be setup?
Usually if a domain is registered and submitted before 5pm then it is
possible to have your site working the very next morning. Domain transfers
take a bit longer but usually happen within 2-4 days.
What
is domain parking and can I "park" my domain name at
InfoDesign Solutions, Inc. Hosting Server?
Domain parking is a way of reserving your name without having
to build a web site. The latest estimates predict that over 8,000 names
per month are currently being registered. With that in mind, parking your
name guarantees that when you are ready to build your web site, your name
will be ready as well. If you have questions, please feel free to call
us (703.550.2315) and we will be happy to step you through the process.
I do not want to pay with a credit card. Do you provide paper base invoicing?
Yes, we offer email and postal mail invoicing and you can mail us your
payment in the form of a check or money order. We offer 10% discounts
for customers paying yearly to ease the burden of writing a check monthly.
Do you deal with international orders?
Yes, international orders are welcome.
How am I billed?
You may choose to be billed monthly, quarterly, or annually. There are
no setup fees and we offer a 30-day money back guarantee. Invoices are
mailed out on the 25th of the month for the following month. For example,
if you place your order on the 4th of the month, an invoice will get
mailed out on the 25th with a due date of the 5th of the following month.
In effect, you get the remainder of the month for free as a chance to
check out our services.
Do I get a discount for paying a year in advance?
Yes, you can save 10% off the yearly subscription. Multiple domains
paid yearly get an additional 5% discount (15% total).
What if I referred someone to your site?
If you refer an account to our site and they complete an application,
you will get one month of your hosting free.
Where are your SERVERS physically located?
They
should be located as close to the main Internet Backbone as possible
(e.g. Chicago, NY,
LA)—otherwise people will incur a performance
hit while trying to load your site. Our servers are located in Lorton
VA of which is near New York.
How much RAM will I be allowed to use?
The
average Website will only need between 5 – 20 MB of space,
this is sufficient.
Can I upgrade my account at anytime?
You
can always upgrade your account if you need extra transfer. If you
are just starting out,
you probably won’t. Most packages will give
you 200MB. Very seldom does sites need this much space.
Will you host a site that has already been designed by another company?
Of
course we will. We will host a new site, transfer a site from another
hosting company,
upgrade your site…whatever you want to do, you
tell us!!!
