How do I transfer my domain’s DNS to phpwebhosting.com?

The transfer process should be very easy.

First, make sure you have assigned the domain to your phpwebhosting.com account. Your primary domain name should appear at the top of your control panel and parked domains can be viewed under the “domain” section of your control panel.

If the domain has not already been added to your account, you can add it via the “domain” section of your control panel. You can either make the domain your primary domain by clicking on the link that says “Click here to change your Primary Domain” or park the domain by clicking on the link that says “Add a parked domain”

Once the domain has been added to your account, all you need to do is go to your domain registrar’s website and find the option to change the name servers associated with your domain. You must remove all existing name servers and replace them with the following –

ns1.phpwebhosting.com
ns2.phpwebhosting.com

It generally takes about 24 hours for name server changes to take effect, but some registrars take longer. Some registrar’s send a confirmation email so be sure to check the email address that your registrar has on file and reply to the email if necessary.

If your domain does not start resolving to your phpwebhosting.com account within 48 hours, please contact us via the help desk section of your control panel and we will do a ‘whois’ lookup on your domain to determine the problem. Please do not contact our help desk until a full 48 business hours have passed since you made the name server change request at your registrar.

How do I add an additional domain to my account?

You can add an additional domain to your account via the domain section of your control panel. Just click on the link that says “Add a parked domain” and enter your new domain name.

Don’t forget: You must also go to your domain registrar’s website and change the name server’s associated with your new domain to ns1.phpwebhosting.com / ns2.phpwebhosting.com.

How Do I create new POP3 mail accounts?

You can create new email accounts via the email configuration area of your control panel.

Just go to the email tab of your control panel and click on the link that says “Click here to manage your email accounts”. Sign in as postmaster (username: postmaster), enter your postmaster password (usually the same as your control panel password), then enter your domain name (no http:// or www before domain name). Once logged-in to the email control panel, select the option to “add new POP3”.

If you need to modify this account later, just click on the “POP3” link then click on the “modify user” button next to the account name.
