Once the client has only paid for web hosting, they will be instructed on how to FTP the files on to the server. iQWeb will not assist the client in installing, setting up the FTP software on their computer or editing their website pages.

Some Web Hosting packages include free domain name registrations, renewals or transfers. Free domain registration is only applicable to new available domain. Domains which are already purchased or the ones which are available for resale are not included in this offer.

WEB HOSTING SUSPENSION

Clients’ web hosting limits are set as per the package they sign-up for. iQWeb’s servers automatically send reminder emails when clients’ web space usage gets close to the allowed web space or bandwidth limit. If the client does not respect the allocated limit, the server will automatically suspend the web hosting account. Clients are encouraged to upgrade their web space to a higher package they believe they will require more disk space or bandwidth.
