What is Virtual Web Hosting ? - Top

Web InSite specializes in Virtual Web Hosting. This means that we offer you a space for your web site on our high-speed FreeBSD UNIX. Windows 2000, or Windows NT web servers. Thus you establish a presence on the Internet. We can register your own domain name on your behalf which will become your unique address on the World Wide Web. Having your own domain name does not suggest that you are renting web space, and, since e-mail can be addressed to your domain (eg. YourDomain.Com) you will not have to announce a new email address if you ever change internet providers.

Do you offer dial-up internet access ? - Top

Web InSite does not and will not provide dial-up access. We decided to keep our dual Redundant OC3 and OC12 line capabilities dedicated to our WWW customers only. That way we can assure high-speed performance even at prime-times. All of our virtual hosting accounts and services can be reached through FTP. If you do not already have an account with an access provider that has these capabilities (AOL, Prodigy, and CompuServe, etc), we recommend that you visit The List and search in your local calling area.

Do you offer web page design services ? - Top

Yes, we do offer high-quality web page design service, as well as CGI and JAVA custom scripting at reasonable rates. Please take a look at our site showcase. To get a price quote for your specific project contact sales@webinsite.net.

Can I check domain name availability ?- Top

Yes. You can check the availability of any domain (use the box on the top of the page) directly on our web site. If you order one of our virtual web hosting packages the order form will also automatically check if the domain name you have choosen is available or not.

Does Web InSite handle domain registrations ? - Top

Absolutely. Once you submitted your order we will contact the InterNIC to request either a new domain name registration in your behalf or transfer your domain from your current provider to our DNS. You do NOT need to submit a registration or modification template to the InterNIC as this will only delay your request

What is "propagation" ? - Top

Once the InterNIC announces that your domain name has been registered (or transferred, if applicable), it usually takes about 3 to 5 working days before it is active. All internet providers must update their records and name servers (DNS tables) to reflect new site locations. This is called propagation.

Will I have unlimited access to update my pages ? - Top

You have unlimited access via FTP 24-hours a day. As such, you can create and maintain your web pages on your own computer and upload files to your web site at your leisure.
