Domain FAQ
I am a new customer, and
transfering my domain what do I do?
Contact the company (registrar) that registered your domain
and ask them to change your name servers. If you don't know
who registered your domain use the domain lookup. The
registrar for your domain will be listed.
Use the following name servers:
ns3.givemeasteal.com
216.180.236.216
ns4.givemeasteal.com
216.180.236.217
Can you point a domain to a sub
directory for me?
Sure, this is called a stacked or parked domain. The fee is
$5.00 a month if you have 10 or less and $2.50 a month if you
have over 10.
Can I change my domain name?
Yes you can. Open a help desk ticket and request the
change. Be sure to include your old domain and your new
domain. There is no fee to change your domain.
How do I request a static IP?
We provide static IPs by request only.
Why? Because ARIN (the people who control the IP addresses
of the internet) setup strict rules that state that we can not
give an IP to a domain just because you want it. Two valid
reasons are:
1. You need SSL setup
2. You need anonomyous FTP setup
If you have a valid reason for a static IP, you will need
to backup your entire site (using the backup feature in your
control panel) before requesting it because we will terminate
your account and reset it up
After your site is backed up, open a trouble ticket at our
Help Desk and request a static IP. There is a $5.00 fee per
month for a static IP address.
When will my domain name be
working on your servers?
Domain names usually propagate within 24 hours of the name
servers being changed. However, this does depend on the
registrar and can take up to 72 hours.
Will Givemeasteal transfer my
domain name for me?
Yes. However, there is a $15.00 charge to transfer the
domain to our account. This fee also includes a one year
renewal on the domain and an online control panel for your
domain. Here you can update your name server, contact
information, etc. yourself.
How many domains can I have hosted
on one account?
You can have as many domain names as you like on one
account. However, please note that there is a charge for
parking the domains ($5 a month per domain for pointing to a
folder or a one time setup fee of $15.00 pointing the domain
to the main domain). Also, these domains will not have their
own control panel and will ONLY have email forwards.
If Givemeasteal registers my
domain will I own it?
Yes, you will own the domain. You will be able to take the
domain with you should you decide to cancel your hosting
account.
What name servers should I use?
Use the following name servers:
ns3.givemeasteal.com
216.180.236.216
ns4.givemeasteal.com
216.180.236.217
Can I have more than one domain on
the same account?
Yes. This is known as a stacked or parked domain.
If you want domain2.com to go to maindomain.com there is a
one time $15.00 setup fee and no monthly fee.
If you want domain2.com to open the files in maindomain.com/domain2/
transparently (i.e.. another site) there is a $5.00 per month
fee no setup fee.
Stacked domains do not have a control panel or pop3 email.
All email sent to stackeddomain.com will be sent to username@maindomain.com.
If you have a platinum account it comes with 50 FTP accounts.
You can setup one of the FTP accounts for the stacked domain.
