Hosting Frequently Asked Questions

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

How does Website Hosting work?
After you sign up for a website package, RSH Web stores your site 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

I have a domain from GoDaddy or another company. Can I use it with your Hosting?
Yes you can use your domain from any other company with our hosting services. All you would need to do is change your Nameservers of your domain to ours - ns1.rshweb.biz and ns2.rshweb.biz. You can find more instructions here
