Frequently Asked Questions

WEB:  

Why do I need a website?

First, a website can reach millions of people that might not otherwise be available. Second, customers can view products, services, or whatever you want to share from the comfort of their own home. No matter what type of business you are in, there are ways to grow and make money on the web for you.

Why all the fuss about how the website looks as long as it works, that should be enough, right?

When you receive a visitor to your site, they will instantly make judgments about your company and the quality of your services or products, based on how your site looks. The first impression a customer or potential customer gets depends on the appearance of your website. As with the company office or store, poorly constructed sites give the impression that the company may not be a good partner for a long term relation. Reputable companies may take pains to develop an impressive image will more likely be trusted. You are marketing yourself and your business to the world over the Internet and it is important to leave a good impression.

I don't think a website will do anything for me, right?

On the contrary, when implemented correctly, a website is like a 24x7 staff that can respond to customers' inquiries about your business. A website can do many things for you. It can provide critical information to your clients. It can receive payments, process a sale, and in some cases even deliver products.

Many people are not aware of the various products, services, or business processes they can transact on a website. Any communication or interactions that happen within your business can be made easier and more efficient by the web. Your business will save money and time while appealing to a much greater audience, the world.

What is the difference between Top Level domain (.com) from a Secondary Level domain (.com.ph)?

Dot Com domains (.com) was the first domain style to be introduced, and is considered a Top Level Domain or TLD as it features only one suffix. Top level domains also cover any other domain name form that only has one suffix - for example; .net, .info, .biz, and so on.

Second Level Domains or 2LDs are domain names that contain another level of qualification to this. For example; .com.au is a second level domain style as it contains an additional suffix after the .com.

How long does it take for registering a new domain?

Registry is within 24 hour; however, domain propagation may take 24-48 hours.

Do you support sub-domain names for the hosting package availed?

Yes, configured upon request.

Sub-Domains are domain name extension placed at the beginning of the domain name. For example, wap.client.com is a sub-domain of client.com and 'wap' being the sub-domain extension. You are allowed to create up to 5 sub-domains in our web hosting as long as you do not exceed your plan's disk space allocation.

What happens if I exceed my disk space allocation?

We will recommend upgrading client hosting plan. Or, you may simply delete unnecessary files to lower disk space usage.

What email server settings do I use to send email?

Basically, if you want to send email you will have to use your ISP's mail server for your outgoing email since they know who you are based on your IP address.

Email servers that will send email for anyone are known as "open relays". If they can find them, spammers will abuse open relays to send their spam for them, so much so that nowadays any email server acting as an open relay risks being put on "black hole lists" so that any email originating from that server is refused.
