FAQ: Windows Core - Setup

Can I have multiple domains pointing to my website?

Whether you have Virtual Hosting, a Virtual Private Server, or a Dedicated server you can point multiple domains at them.

On Virtual Hosting you can do this through the DirectAdmin interface.  On a VPS it is an entirely different process.  It is mainly on how you have the VPS configured.  If you are using a web management interface on your account, such as DirectAdmin or CPanel, you can add domains through the tools provided by the management software.  Otherwise, you will have to do it through manual configuration of Apache or the webserver that you are using.  A dedicated server is like a VPS in this respect.  You will either have to do it through a manual apache configuration or through a Control Panel.  You must also make sure that your DNS is pointed properly to your hosting account IP address as well.  To point your DNS to us you must either: change your domain registration listed name servers to be NS1.NETHOSTING.COM and NS2.NETHOSTING.COM (so you can use our DNS Management interface) or point your current name servers at the proper IP address.  Your IP address is given in your welcome letter when you sign up for the account.

How long will it take to get my site online?

Once your account is ready to go it is up to you and how much time you take to get your site online. You'll need to upload your site files, database contents, etc. You'll also need to modify the domain registration and/or DNS records for your domain(s). It can however take 24 to 48 hours for DNS to propagate. If you need any help in this you can contact our web design and technical support services to assist you.

Now that I am done signing in how do I upload my website?

Most of the time you will want to upload all of your site information using FTP.  You can use the Administration interface to do this, but it is easier to use a standard FTP program like, FileZilla.  Depending on the structure of the site this can vary in how it needs to be setup properly.
