  11. My site won't come up or is slow, what's wrong? [top]
    There are a variety of factors that can contribute to occasional slow download speeds or time-outs. One thing that you can rule out is lack of bandwidth directly into the facility where your site is located.

    If it seems that your site generally is always slow, it may be because you have images on your pages that are too large. A rule of thumb is to try to make images 20k or less. If you have larger images, try using image compression software which you can download free.

    Check the path from your computer to your web site: When you download from your site, you are taking a path to get from your computer to your web site.

    In your Hosting Contol Panel we provide a Trace Route tool which will enable you to see the path to your site.

    If you see a slow link, we don't suggest you call your Internet provider and immediately report it. Occasional slow links on the Internet are common. However, if it is always like that, you may want to consider calling them.

  13. What is SSH? [top]
    SSH is similar to telnet, but it's more secure. It uses high level encryption and compression to make sure nobody can takeover or eavesdrop on your telnet session.

  14. What is Virtual Hosting? [top]
    Virtual Hosting is where multiple web sites (www.domain.com) are served off the same physical server. This saves each customer from purchasing their own expensive server, performing the setup and providing the appropriate environment. This is the most common method of hosting sites of small to medium size with light to moderate traffic.

  17. Why can't I create sub-domains? [top]
    If you receive an error when creating sub-domains, open a ticket and request for sub-domains to be enabled.

    NOTE: If your domain is not pointing to our nameserver and is still in the progress of been transferred, you CANNOT create sub-domains. You will have to wait until your domain has fully propagated before you can create sub-domains.
