- Can I transfer existing domain name to EggStream WebHosts servers? [top]
Yes. You should keep the service with your current provider while waiting for InterNIC to complete the transfer process. We will provide you with a temporary URL address so you can mirror the site on our server. All email and web pages will still be accessed from your current site. When InterNIC announces the completion of the transfer there is a 72 hour propagation period where visitors could go to either site. At the end of the 72 hours you should contact your previous host to have them delete the old domain from their records and update their DNS record. If you use the same provider for your Internet access you will not be able to access your domain site at EggStream WebHosts until they update their DNS.

- I've seen web hosting cheaper than yours, what's the deal? [top]
Be careful of some providers that claim to give you everything for under $10/month. What they might be doing is putting you on a cheap Unix or NT server with 1000's of other domains. Our features are second to none and we stick to them. We have years of experience on Unix/Linux web hosting and we assure you we are planning on being around for a long time. We've spent thousands on research and development creating an automated system to instantly set-up and configure your account. When it comes to high quality performance web hosting we are miles ahead of the competition in terms of network connectivity, uptime, features, quality facilities, excellent control panels and friendly customer support. Never substitute quality for price.

- Why doesn't EggStream WebHosts offer phone support? [top]
We prefer support requests to come through our ticketing system or email for a variety of reasons.
First, it provides an audit trail of communication so that all the facts can be passed on to whomever may be working your problem.
Second, it allows us to focus on fixing problems instead of answering the phone.
Third, due to there being multiple people in different locations available to handle requests it saves additional expenses.
