Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)

How does Web Hosting Work?
RSH Web Services stores your files or web pages on one of our Web Servers and "points" your Domain Name to that space. Your Domain Name is the address that allows people to find and view your website. By purchasing a hosting package you are basically renting space on one of our Web Servers which allows your website to be seen and accessed from anywhere

Why are you not listed on those "Best Website Hosting Reviews" sites
Those are all paid affiliate websites. They get a commission every time some one signs up through their website. You will only see reviews of hosting companies that pays the most affiliate commissions. You can read more about this here

How long does it take before my domain name is active?
In some instances it is immediate. But it usually takes about 12-24 hours before it is active. Note: All ISPs must update their records (DNS tables) to reflect the new Domain Name

Is there a Contract Period?
Unlike other companies that need those long term contracts to stay in business. We do not. What we have seen with the Hosting Market lately is offering discounts for long term contracts - 3 month, yearly, 2 year contract. But only offering a 30 day money back guarantee. That should make you wonder
