Domain Questions

Can I have more than one domain pointed to my account?

Yes, but be aware, No Ad Web charges additional fees for every extra domain name you point to your account. For a domain name that is parked on top of your main domain name, the cost is $1.99/month. You may use an index.cgi script, to redirect from that domain name to a sub-directory at no additional charge.  Each additional domain name parked on top, or to a sub-directory, receives one catch-all email POP account or forwarder for all mail to that domain name. Parked domain names do not receive a control panel of their own.

Do you support subdomains?

Yes. The amount of subdomains will depend on the plan you purchase.  Additional subdomains are available click here for more information. The Standard Hosting account comes with 5 subdomains and the Premium Hosting comes with 10.

What is a  subdomain?

A subdomain is any term you want before your domain. For example you have a domain www.yourname.com and say you want to create another webpage. You can create a subdomain (anything.yourname.com) and it can be like a whole separate webpage. In essence it is a domain as well. So  it is a very nice feature to have.

How do I transfer my existing domain to your service.

A domain transfer is not necessary. All you will need to do is change the nameservers for your domain to the ones provided in your confirmation email.  You can however, transfer your domain using our registration service which will provide you a low cost way to add additional years of registration for your domain name. For a step by step process Click Here.

I registered a domain name with you today. I accidentally misspelled it and need to change the name. Can I get the name changed or get a refund?

No Ad Web is unable to change or edit the spelling of a domain name after it has been registered. The system is setup to attempt to register the domain exactly as it is entered. Should the registration succeed, charges will be incurred even if the domain entered was not what the person actually intended to type. The system only knows what is actually typed. Because No Ad Web is charged the moment any domain is submitted, registrations are not refundable.

How do I get all of my domains working with No Ad Web?

In your Welcome E-mail, you'll notice your new DNS entries to change with your current registrar. You will need to go to the provider whom you registered your domain name from (ex: networksolutions.com), login to your master domain panel and update your domains 'NAME SERVERS.' You will then point your domain to the domain Name Server of your choice.  You should upload and test your complete website to our servers using the FTP information contained in your welcome email prior to changing DNS entries.  This will insure uninterrupted service of your web site.

Why doesn't my web site work yet? and shouldn't the domain name I registered be working by now?

Upon activation, it will take your site 24-72 hours to update DNS entries AROUND the globe. In English, every DNS "phone book" (so to speak) will be updated within a MAXIMUM of 72 hours.

If you would like, you may access your web site by visiting the following URL (so you may test things out)

http://111.111.111/~username/

Just replace USERNAME with the username assigned to you in your Activation Email. and replacing the IP with the one provided in that email as well

What are the nameservers for my site?

These nameservers are located in your Welcome E-mail.  Change your nameservers at your current registrar exactly to the nameserver information we provide in your welcome e-mail.   Please allow 24-72 hours for global DNS updates to update your DNS entries.

How do I register my domain?

Can I view my site before my domain updates?

Can you host an international domain (TLD)?

You name it, we can host it! PERIOD. Just be sure when you sign up for your additional domain, that you use the proper extension.

How do I get files onto my web site?

Several ways! Either by uploading your files one by one via your control panel or, an easier way, by using an FTP/HTML editor to upload your files (such as FrontPage, CuteFTP, etc.). All you will need to do is configure the HTML/FTP editor to work with your site and you should be good to go!

What's the difference between domain pointing and domain parking?

Pointing - pointing a TLD domain name to a sub-domain giving it the appearance of an account of it own

Parking - making a second domain name point to the same web site as another.

Each of these services are $14.99 one time, and can be purchased through the sales department.
