Frequently Asked Questions. Support Hotline.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How does web hosting work?
Once you purchase a Web Hosting plan, HostingDude stores your site on one of our servers and assigns it a unique DNS. The DNS serves as the address that allows people around the world to find and view your website. This unique address is required in order for people to view your site.
By purchasing a website hosting package, you're basically buying space on one of our servers. It’s similar to the space on a computer’s hard drive, but the server allows your website’s files to be accessed from anywhere.
What kind of web hosting do I need?
We offer both Windows and Linux hosting. Which one you need depends on what you want to do with your site, like whether you want to create a shopping cart, blog or podcast with a specific web application. If you're not sure if you need Windows or Linux, you can always call HostingDude hosting support team. We're here to help 24/7.
What can I use to build my website?
You can build your website in several different ways – from hand-coding with HTML to using a Website Builder program.
If you require a lot of functionality and versatility from your website, you’ll benefit from programs and applications that can help you build your site. Our Web Hosting plans give you access to free, server-side applications that can be used to develop and customize your website, including popular Content Management System (CMS) applications like WordPress® and Joomla!®.
We try to make building your website as simple as possible. If you prefer to use popular Web design software such as Adobe Dreamweaver®, Microsoft Expression®, and Apple iWeb, you can easily upload your files to your HostingDude hosting account.
How do I transfer my web pages to your server?
If you’ve built your website in a HTML editor, like Dreamweaver or Microsoft Expression Studio, you have to upload your website files via FTP (File Transfer Protocol). We have a built-in FTP File Manager that you can access in our Hosting Control Center.
However, if your files are larger than 20 MB, we recommend using the tool FileZilla, which works with Windows®, Mac®, and Linux® operating systems, or another third-party FTP client.
If I already have a website, can I transfer it to your web hosting?
Moving your website to HostingDude is a simple process. If you have access to your existing website files, you can upload them through our Hosting Control Center or via an FTP client. If you don’t have a current copy of your website, you should be able to request one from your current website hosting provider.
If you have any questions along the way, our 24/7 support team is here to assist you. We can help you determine the best method for transitioning your website to a HostingDude account.
I just bought a hosting plan. Now what?
Setup is a simple four-step process that takes only a few minutes.
What kind of support does HostingDude provide with my Plesk Hosting?
You get 24/7/365 Toll-Free Phone Customer Support for all the plans.
If you need a team of server-admin experts to support you, we offer a fully-managed support plan for an additional charge. We also provide custom service offerings to solve specific issues of an unusual nature, should you require it. Of course, we also offer a rich library of detailed help articles.
You're NEVER ALONE with HostingDude.com and our Round-The-Clock Support! You can learn more about the support services in our Help section(s).
*Important Pricing Information - Helping You Get Maximum Discount!
Don't forget you always get the lowest pricing we can offer just for stopping by and seeing the ol' HostingDude. We're saying "Thanks for Visiting Us" and we're saying it in cash, with discounts up to 88% or more, and always, for anything not already on sale, we're saying it with a fantastic 15%-OFF EVERYTHING we sell.
We've already included this Always 15%-Off discount in our displayed "Add-to-Cart" pricing wherever it applies, and minimum purchase is only total of $1, so that covers pretty much everything we sell and renew.
You'll see our pricing shown to you with our prior (already discounted) pricing, crossed out, and next to that old price we show you the Lower Pricing You WILL Receive — that's a Real Discount and you'll see it in your CART at CHECKOUT — Look at the CART TOTAL, and NOT in each item's line-item price, where it may not always appear.
The lower price will always be factored into the Cart Total at the bottom of the Shopping Cart.
See your Discount(s) in the Shopping Cart's Total at the BOTTOM LINE ...literally, it's the last line:
• Keep in mind: You Won't Usually See Your Discount in Each Item's Line Item Price in your Cart. Look Lower!
• You Will See Your Discounts In the FINAL (truly "bottom-line") TOTAL PRICE at the Bottom of your Cart.
• That TOTAL price will be Lower than the total of the line items, because it reflects the discounted amount(s).
The shopping cart always takes into account all possible discounts and gives you the maximum possible savings allowed (it allows no stacking nor double-dipping of most discounts) — giving you the FULL DISCOUNT in your total price. (Look for it! It's right in there. You'll see it.)
So don't disappoint that sentimental ol' HostingDude — he'd be breakin' down in tears if you left your discount behind at the cart... Please remember:
Use the code; Use the code; Use the code... and SAVE!
REMEMBER, make sure our thank-you PROMO-CODE: HDX appears in your cart at checkout.
Renewals Too? Yes, Yes, Yes!!!
Renewals Are Discounted Too! Just as long as you come back and see us and make sure to do your renewals using PROMO CODE: HDX in your cart at checkout.
Almost Every Renewal Qualifies!
Product Add-Ons and Options Too? Yes, Yes, Yes!!!
Almost ALL ADD-ON PRODUCTS QUALIFY, for example, our fantastic Domain Name Privacy — Already FREE with 5+ Domains, and Discounted to $1.95 for single domains... but now with that same Promo Code HDX you'll enjoy our incredible Private Domain Name (WHOIS Privacy) service, not for $1.95 but only $1.66 for single domains!
Naw, the HostingDude really is not crazy...
Although we hear it all the time — the HostingDude must be crazy to discount just about everything in sight!
And who ever heard of DISCOUNTING RENEWALS ??? Nobody does that, except of course the HostingDude...
Sure there's Fine Print... We Like to Put it in Big 14-Px Bold Type.
As always, just like anywhere else, pay attention to the terms and conditions. Here at HostingDude.com, they're pretty straightforward, and our goal is to make sure you get your discounts offered.
So you can call us, Toll-Free, 24/7/365, of course. And this following TIP will probably iron out any shopping cart discount "wrinkles" in the unlikely event you come across one:
Here's a Great Tip if You're Not Seeing a Bottom-Line Total Cart Price You'd Planned to See:
Sometimes mixing certain sale/promo items in the same cart transaction with our non-sale thank-you discount items — those 15%-Off HDX items — can cause the thank-you discount not to apply. Easiest way to fix that is buy your sale/promo items in separate transactions whenever possible then go to town with 15%-OFF just about everything else we sell.
Take ALL your 15% Discounts Including: Most Product Add-Ons ...plus... Almost Every Renewal!
As emphasized above, our nearly-universal 15%-Off almost always includes the product add-ons also... Such as including Domain Privacy and Extra Features of Dedicated Servers and VPS and other Hosting Products optionally added.
And yes, of course, it pretty much Always Includes RENEWALS Too! Yes, just about anything that isn't already on sale or promo is included at 15%-Off, and sometimes those items are discounted too, taking you 15% BELOW a Special Sale Price on many items!
Just add the Promo Code: HDX in your shopping cart.
You Must Renew Manually entering a valid Promo Code to get Discounted Renewals
Discount/Promo Codes Are NOT "Auto-Added" on Auto-Renewals...
...And Can Not Be Added (discount deducted) after an Auto-Renewal or Any Transaction is Complete
Renewal Discounts: Don't forget you MUST come back and see us each renewal time and enter our best discount code into your Shopping Cart to take advantage of our best deal on those renewals. No discount codes are ever added on an Auto-Renewal nor can they be added (nor discount deducted) after any transaction of any time.
That's the Whole Point of Giving Renewals on Discounts — the HostingDude wants you to come back and see what we have to offer that's new or currently on sale, or otherwise something you need or want at a GREAT DEAL for you!
Plus, that sentimental ol' HostingDude, well, he just misses ya when you're gone too long. So he makes it EASY:
1. The HostingDude sends lots of "your item is coming up for renewal" notices to your email address as registered with us — so make your email address with us is current and accurate and you can always control what we send you right in your Account Settings
2. Each time you log-in to your Account Settings to do anything with a product of any sort, you'll see a notification bell and message count up top — and in those notifications and messages we put reminders about expiring products needing renewals.
3. How Do You Know the Latest, Greatest DISCOUNT CODE...?
We make that one pretty easy — we plaster our latest discount code all over our pages just as we're doing now with this one, already mentioned half a dozen times in this terms and conditions section alone.
We will make SURE our Best Discount Code will jump out at you, so take it and use it to save big at renewal time.
The Shopping Cart Knows All and Wins All Disputes On Final Discounted Pricing:
The Cart is the Oracle: Right there in our not-so-horrible terms and conditions as well as right here is the fact that the Shopping Cart is gonna decide any close calls on these and all discounts, combinability, and final pricing.
The Cart is programmed to give you the best possible discount on your total order when there are conflicts or multiple possible discounts it could apply. But just call us if you think the Cart is wrong or not giving you the best deal. We'll fix that!
That's because the Cart is also programmed to prevent stacking of discounts or double-dipping of discounts, so that an item already on sale often (but not always) cannot be discounted further by a promo code like our HDX 15%-Off Code.
Therefore combining sales items with Promo Discount items (just about EVERYTHING!) in the cart may cause the cart to select only one discount or promo that it thinks gives the best overall savings, and it applies only that sale or promo.
When the above happens, you can often still get all your discounts, on all your items, just by doing several separate transactions as follows:
1. Buy your NON-HDX-Promo-Code items (the stuff on special sales, either with no code or other codes) in one or more transaction(s) first.
2. Complete those transactions taking those full discounts
3. Then buy the ordinary-price items on which you're using the HDX 15%-Off Code in separate transaction(s).
4. Now you've gotten the best deals on everything:
It's easily done — since it's simple to add and remove items in the cart and look at the cart total at the bottom and calculate out each discount being given, item by item, and you'll easily see what's combinable.
Multiple transactions separated by type-of-discount usually solve any such issues with the cart where you think you may not be getting your full discount credit for all items. And if that doesn't get you the price you see being offered or think is possible, just call us Toll-Free 24/7/365 and let us help you get every deal we offer!
The Best Up-Time Guarantee You'll Never Even Need:
...but just in case, and so you know exactly what we promise, provide, and guarantee...
†† HostingDude.com's Always-Up, Always-Fast, No-Excuses Guarantee is our promise of 99.9% Uptime, backed by a refund guarantee if we don't meet our promises. See our Terms and Conditions in our FAQ and Support Sections for more information on this promise, and our commitment to your full satisfaction.
Frankly, we'd like to say 100% Uptime guarantee, but the lawyers tell us we can't really do that, even though our pristine record of dependability is far closer to 100.0% Uptime than it is to 99.9% Uptime.
And that's OK, since we would rather under-promise and OVER-DELLIVER, then see you pleased and happy when you experience a very typical ZERO downtime.
We can do this thanks to our award-winning data center and the finest staff of expert technicians, server and network engineers, who keep our modern, redundant, more-than-amply resourced equipment always up, and always at the top speeds you need for every hosting and server plan we proudly provide.
You can always Call Us Toll-Free 24/7/365 for support on this or questions.
Also call in the unlikely event you believe there was an outage with our hosting causing you to need a claim...
