hosting package questions

[cottage_rentals]

hello,

do you accept paypal as a method of payment to purchase your hosting package?

can i set it up monthly so every month $29.99 is withdrawn out of my paypal account?

or do i have to pay $29.99 X 12 months up front.

thanks

in order to use your hosting service do i have to transfer my domain to your dns number just like a regular hosting company?

if so, it takes my current domain registrar 5-7 days to transfer domains to other servers. can i send my domain registrar your dns number before i purchase the hosting package from you so i won't lose those 5-7 days.

i hope this question makes sense,

thanks

Do you mean IP number?

Hosting companies have their own range of IP numbers, if you want your domain name to to show your web site hosted ANYWHERE then you have to tell your registrar what IP address will be hosting your site.

This info gets sent out to all of the DNS servers on the internet so this can take time, usually less than 12 hours for most but shouldnt take longer than 72.

If you are already using the domain name for another site, you can log into your domain name registrar and lower the TTL value to something like 3600. Then, wait about 24-36 hours and order the hosting package. We'll get it installed and then you can change the name server values at your registrar to point to our servers. Because you lowered your TTL values ahead of time, the DNS should update more rapidly through the internetz.

Thanks-
