What is a domain name?
A domain name is your internet address. A domain name is unique
to your website, meaning, no two domain names are the same.

Where can I check if a domain name is available?
Actually, all domain name registrants have domain check in their
websites. Before you can register a domain name, you have to check
first its availability.

What is allowed in a domain name?
The only allowed characters in a domain name are the 26 letters
of the English Aphabet, numbers 0-9, and dashes (-). You can have
a domain name with up to 63 characters. Although domain names
can contain dashes (-), it can not begin and end with a dash.

I already have a domain name, how can I use
it for my account here?
When you order a hosting acount from us, a domain name is required.
By the time your account is set-up, you have to change the Nameservers
of your domain name in order to point it to your new server with
us. To do that, contact your domain name registrar and ask them
to make changes to the DNS entries of your domain name as follows:
Primary DNS: NS1.DREAMCODEHOSTING.NET - (65.247.184.235)
Secondary DNS: NS2.DREAMCODEHOSTING.NET - (65.247.184.236)
If you are granted management of your domain name by your registrar,
then you can do the changes yourself.

How do I create my subdomain?
To create subdomains, login to your Control Panel. Click on Subdomains
Icon or Link. Supply in the base name for your subdomain in the
blank field before .yourdomain.com. Click on
Add button. This will create a folder with the name of
your subdomain inside your public_html directory. Upload your
subdomain files in this directory. You will then have a name.yourdomain.com.

How long does it takes to register a domain
name?
Domain names take only minutes to register. However, changes to
your nameservers will take up to 24 hours to take effect and up
to 2-3 days to propagate in the internet, before it can fully
be pointed to your server.

I do not have a domain name yet, can I still
get an account here?

account with us.
