    Within hours! Docu-Type Web Hosting offers speedy account activation. Once your order has been received, your account is setup and a welcome letter is sent to the email address you provided on the order form. You can then start uploading your files. Your domain name may take up 24-72 hours to resolve but you can always reach your website using the servername and username mentioned in your welcome letter or via ftp using the server name and username.

  11. I'm hosted with another company, how can I transfer my site to you without experiencing any "downtime". [top]
    To avoid downtime when moving your site to Docu-Type Web Hosting's servers, please follow these steps:

    1) Sign up for your new account by sending us an email. We will email you a "welcome" letter which will include your login so that you can upload your files to our server.

    2) After you've uploaded your files, contact your domain name registrar and request that your nameservers be changed so that they point to our servers. You can find the DNS nameserver details in your Welcome letter.

    3) Once you have updated the nameservers for your domain, you can expect a wait of approximately 24-48 hours for your registrar to update their DNS. Once it's updated, your domain name will point to your website that you have on the Docu-Type Web Hosting servers.

    4) After you confirm that your website is pointed to Docu-Type Web Hosting's servers you may go ahead and cancel your account with your previous hosting company. We do NOT recommend cancelling your account until you have made sure that your domain is pointing to our servers. This will insure that you have no downtime or loss of email, etc.

  12. I've seen web hosting companies that offer cheaper plans than you, why should I choose Docu-Type Web Hosting? [top]
    When it comes to web hosting, 99% of the time, "you get what you pay for". Docu-Type Web Hosting utilizes state-of-the-art services and technology and a full staff of customer service, billing and technical support team members. That means that we have to charge a little more to cover overhead than some companies who buy a cheap server and crowd 1000's of other accounts on it with little or no tech support or staffing. Docu-Type Web Hosting is a privately owned and profitable company and we plan on being around for a long time - so you know when you are hosting with Docu-Type Web Hosting, your site is safe with us! We focus on providing quality services to quality customers - Quality NOT Quantity counts here at Docu-Type Web Hosting and we are sure once you have tried our services, you will agree! Our Tip: Never substitute quality for low prices.

  13. What is your policy on SPAM? [top]

    Docu-Type Web Hosting is committed to a zero-tolerance, anti-spamming policy. Sending unsolicited bulk and/or commercial messages over the Internet (known as "spamming") is prohibited, regardless of whether or not it overloads a server or disrupts service to Docu-Type Web Hosting's customers. The term "spamming" also includes, but is not limited to, maintaining an open SMTP policy, engaging in spamming using the service of another ISP or IPP and referencing in the spam a web site hosted on a Docu-Type Web Hosting server, and selling or distributing software (on a web site residing on a Docu-Type Web Hosting server) that facilitates spamming. Violators will be assessed a minimum fine of $200 and will face immediate suspension. Docu-Type Web Hosting reserves the right to determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, what constitutes a violation of this provision.

    Please refer to our What to do about Spam Guide for more information.

  15. Why don't you offer "unlimited bandwidth"? [top]
    There is no such thing as unlimited bandwidth. Any company that promises you unlimited bandwidth is counting on the fact that you will not use it, and if you do they will quickly find ways of either forcing you to pay for it, or restricting your site. Most of these hosts have a clause in their policies regarding "excessive usage of system resources" or something to that effect to cover themselves. Docu-Type Web Hosting offers a very generous amount of bandwidth with our hosting plans and if you do happen to go over, the overage fees are lower than the
    industry standard.
