FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Quick answers about hosting, domains, resellers and your account.

Getting started

How do I order hosting or a domain?

Choose a plan on our hosting or reseller page, or search for a name on the domains page, then click the order button. You will be taken to your client area to sign in or create an account and complete your order.

Where do I sign in to manage my services?

Everything account-related happens in the client area: ordering, invoices, payments, and managing your domains and hosting.

Which hosting plan is right for me?

If you are running a single website or business email, start with one of our hosting plans and move up as your site grows. If you want to host sites for your own clients, look at reseller hosting. Not sure? Ask our team and we will recommend a package.

Domains

How do I check if a domain is available?

Type the name you want into the search box on the homepage or the domains page. We show whether it is available, the registration and renewal price, and the transfer fee, and suggest similar names that are free.

Can I transfer my existing domain to BHD?

Yes. Search for your domain and choose Transfer to BHD. Transfer fees depend on the extension; some extensions may be free to transfer in. You will complete the transfer from your client area.

What is the difference between registering and renewing?

Registering claims a new domain name for the first time. Renewing keeps a domain you already own active for another term. The yearly price shown in search results applies to both.

Which characters can I use in a domain name?

Letters, numbers and hyphens. A name cannot start or end with a hyphen, and each part between dots can be up to 63 characters.

Hosting

What is included with my hosting?

Each plan lists its disk space, bandwidth, email accounts and backups on the hosting page. All plans include an SSL certificate and support from our team.

Is my website protected against attacks?

Yes. Our hosting includes a web application firewall (WAF) that filters malicious traffic and common attacks before they reach your site, along with a free SSL certificate.

Do you take backups?

Yes. Backup frequency depends on the plan and is listed on each plan card. We still recommend keeping your own copy of important sites and data.

Do you filter spam and viruses?

Yes. Incoming email is scanned for spam and viruses by MX Pro before it reaches your mailbox.

Can I host email with you?

Yes. Our hosting plans include email accounts, and we also offer an email-only hosting plan. Both support POP, IMAP and SMTP.

Can I upgrade my plan later?

Yes. Contact us or open a request from your client area and we will help you move to a bigger plan.

Reseller hosting

What is reseller hosting?

Reseller hosting lets you host websites for your own clients under your own brand, managing each client account separately. See the reseller plans for disk space and domain limits.

Do I need technical experience?

It helps, but you do not need to be a server expert. Our team can help you get your reseller account set up and your first clients online.
