Question   With a dedicated server that we host with you, can our webmaster have root access to be able to create sub-domains and install plugins?



Answer    We can give out root access via an RSA key, but it is typically best for us not to.  If we give out root access it is very easy to mess something up.  Our DNS settings are very specific.  However, something he probably would need is phpMyAdmin access, which we have and there is no problems with him using it if he is qualified.  With our DNS setup, even someone qualified could easily have issues.  Because of this, for any sites you need added to your server, it's best to send to us and it is a simple process for us to add it for you.  If you have and can send a long list all at once that is best.  If there is any other needs for root access let us know and either we can describe our method for doing it, or provide the needed access for you to do it yourself. If it is something that we don't have a specific method for then we have no problem to give you access but prefer to know what is going on (many things we have our own method for).

Q. can i add subdomain names for my main domain name?

A. You cannot add them yourself, however, we can add them for you.  In order to add one, open a support request indicating the subdomain name, and also the site that the subdomain should point to.

Q. Can I create a sub domain so it looks like training.MYdomainNAME.com? If it can be done, would I be able to do the above with WordPress?

A.

Subdomains for Members

By default, all members have a sub domain created for them for their primary page.  The sub domain looks like: username.mydomainname.com

Subdomains for other Purposes

Yes, a sub domain can added and you can do anything you want with that subdomain.  Any member with a username that matches the subdomain would not be able to use the subdomain for their primary page.

Shared Hosting
If you have shared hosting then we would need to edit the DNS records on our end as a support request. When doing this, we can have the sub domain point to another hosting account (where you have hosting elsewhere) and we will have the subdomain point to it.  Then, you can do whatever you like on that separate hosting account (exa: install WordPress).

Dedicated Server
If you have a dedicated server with us then on the server page you can add a domain for the server and it creates a folder for it.  When doing it this way you would enter the full domain (exa: subdomain.mydomain.com).  WordPress or anything else you want can be installed in that folder for that subdomain.

WordPress Multisite

When using the WordPress tool you are unable to do subdomains for that WordPress site.  The WordPress tool uses WordPress multisite so each member has their own login to WordPress to manage their own blog.

Q. When changing the domain name for my software once I give you the new domain to host, how long will it take to change it over to your server, and how many credits will that take?

A. You can see the price to change the domain name on the products page in the software addons section. You can purchase a domain transfer through the shopping cart on the page for your site inside of the WMT client admin. Transferring a domain is a "Task", not a support request, so you are charged a one time for each transfer, you will not consume support credits. However, there may be side affects from the transfer where things links still point to the old domain and/or places where the old name still appears.  Time spent fixing these issues are charged as a support request and not included in the set price.  We do not check for such issues and you would need to send us a list of issues in a support request for us to fix them.  Most transfers with just 1 or 2 pages do not have this issue, but if there is an issue it normally costs less then $25 worth of credits to fix all of the pages.

Transferring the domain take only a couple of hours and is usually done at night as your site will be down during the process. Our software designer will transfer your site. It may take 1-3 days for your task to be worked on (depending on the current work load). You will be contacted when it is time to point your new domain to our servers.
