  • General Questions

Why we can provide Un-metered bandwidth?

The reason we can provide un-metered bandwidth is because we own our own hardware, software and licenses PLUS we purchase them in bulk, therefore saving our cost. In return, we pass the savings onto you, our customers to enjoy good quality and no restriction amount of bandwidth.

 

Do you allow warez and adult websites?

We do not allow any kind of warez content on our servers, due to Singapore Law we also do not allow adult content at our server. Please refer to our "Terms of Service" for more information.

 

Does SwitchFusion offer 24x7 technical support ?

Yes. We offer 24x7 email technical support and telephone support is from Monday to Friday 1.00 pm to 5.00 pm. 

 

Can you host my subdomain or do I have to have a domain name?

We can host your subdomain. However, the owner of the domain has to configure your subdomain to point to the IP address we provide you.

 

What Platform & Operating System (OS) does SwitchFusion use ?

Our servers run mainly on Redhat Linux Server and Windows 2000 Server.

 

Is it true that the setup fee is Free?

Yes. All our reseller plan and virtual hosting come with Free setup and No hidden costs. Only pay for what you needs that all.

 

How do I switch from my current provider to SwitchFusion?

Simply sign up online and we will do the rest for you. Depending on where and who registered your domain name, you may have to provide us with your domain admin login and password. For more information, call our customer care. 

  • Account Questions

How long does it take for my website to be setup and ready to use?

We will setup your account as soon as possible after you have placed your order (usually within 6 hours). Once you have received your welcome email (which is sent to you upon your account setup), you can login to your account via FTP and upload your website.

 

My account has been setup, why isn't my domain working?

After you change the name servers for your domain at the registrar where your domain is registered, it can take anywhere between 24 and 72 hours before the changes start to take effect.

 

If I sign up with one of your hosting plans now, can I upgrade/downgrade later?

Of course! You can at anytime, upgrade or downgrade your account without any processing fees or interruption of service. All you have to do is to let us know what hosting plan you would like to upgrade/downgrade to. We can also customize a plan to fit your exact needs.

 

Are my account files backed up regularly?

Yes. All accounts are backed up on a daily basis. However, it is strongly recommended that you keep an up to date backup of your account on a local computer (i.e. your desktop).

 

How do I backup my account?

You can download your daily account backup by logging into your account control panel and clicking on “backup”. There you will find a backup of your home directory, your SQL databases and your email aliases/filters. Simply click on each link to download the backup files.

  • Email Questions

Can I change my MX record to use services like Everyone.net's web mail?

Yes. You can change your MX record from within your control panel to have any server handle your emails.

 

What are my incoming and outgoing mail servers?

You can use "mail.yourdomain.com" for your incoming and outgoing mail.

 

How can I access the web mail without logging in to the control panel everytime?

You can access your web mail account by going directly to "http://www.yourdomain.com/webmail/". Make sure you have an ending slash ("/").

  • Domain Questions

Do you register domain names?

Yes. Please contact our sales or support department with the domain name you would like to register for additional information and pricing.

 

Can I host multiple domains using one account?

Yes. You can host additional domain names on sub domains of your main account. For example, we can point “Your2ndDomain.com” to “sub.YourMainDomain.com” and have it appear as a real account to everyone else. This feature is very useful for people who own more than one domain name. However, if you need to host each domain with its own separate features, we suggest you take a look at our reseller packages.

  • FTP Questions

Can I access my account via FTP 24/7?

Yes. You can login to your account via FTP or your personal control panel day and night to manage your account.

  • Control Panel Questions

Do I get a control panel to manage my account?

Of course! You can login to your control panel by going to http://www.yourdomain.com/cpanel/ and entering your account login and password.

 

I changed my control panel password and now I can't login.

Your account name and password are both case-sensitive (for example, if your password is "abc123" and you type it in as "ABC123", it will not work). Make sure that you type in your password correctly and that your whole account name is in lowercase.

 

How can I change my control panel theme?

To have your control panel theme changed, please contact our support department with your account ID, domain name and the theme of your choice.

  • Guarantee Questions

Money back guarantee on all our hosting plans and packages

To prove to you how confident we are in our services, we will offer you a 7-day money back guarantee on our annual hosting plans and packages and a 7-day money back guarantee on our monthly plans and packages. If for any reason you are not completely satisfied with our services and cancel your account within the initial 7 days (for our annual hosting) or 7 days (for our monthly hosting) from the initial order date of your account we will refund you all your money (excluding any set up fees and fees for additional features. Please also note that the 7 day money back guarantee does not apply to any specials or discounted deals as these only have a 7 day money back guarantee). For information can be find at here.

Please note: The money back guarantee does not apply if your account is terminated at any time within the guaranteed period for breach of our terms and conditions, or if you go over the allocated and allowed bandwidth usage for your plan. Accounts that are renewed for additional terms are also not subject to our money back guarantees. We reserve the right not to honor the money back guarantee where the customer has requested a refund in the past.

 

99% uptime guarantee

If for any reason (except for scheduled downtimes) our network or servers are down for longer than 1% in any month, you can request a 10% discount for your following month's services.

 

Price freeze guarantee

With SwitchFusion, you never need to worry about an increase in your fees, as when you sign up for one of our packages and remain a continuous customer your fee will not alter while your payment plan remains the same. Please be aware that the price freeze guarantee does not apply to our 'specials' or discounted web hosting plans or if your account is suspended for non payment this offer will no longer apply.

* The price freeze guarantee is not valid in case of our network costs going up, and they seem to only be going down.

  • Programming and Database Questions

Do you support Perl/CGI and PHP?

Yes, we support both Perl/CGI and PHP.

 

Do you support MySQL?

Yes, we support MySQL databases. You can manage your databases from within your web based control panel.

 

Do you have any preinstalled scripts that I can use?

Yes. We have a variety of Perl/CGI and PHP scripts that you can use. To give you some examples, we have message board, counter, guestbook, chat and more.

 

What is the path to Perl?

The path to Perl is: /usr/bin/perl

 

What is the path to Sendmail?

The path to Sendmail is: /usr/sbin/sendmail

  • Script and Software Questions

Can I run a message board on my account?

Yes. We support both Perl/CGI and PHP message boards. However, there are some older message boards that use flat files instead of a database (such as MysQL) to store all data which in its turn causes high server loads and is a lot slower. Therefore, we only allow message boards that use database.

 

Which message boards do you recommend?

vBulletin and phpBB are two fully featured message boards we highly recommend.

 

Will you install a message board for me?

Yes. Simply send an email to support@switchfusion.com.sg with your domain name and FTP login and password. If you would like us to install your vBulletin board, please include your vBulletin customer number and password as well.

Message board installation pricing:

  • First time install per account » S$24 

  • Second time install and up » S$14 per installation

  • Upgrades » S$44.00 per hour 

 

Can I have access to SSH?

SwitchFusion enforces a strict "No SSH" policy. We will also instantly suspend any account that uses a script which can be used to elevate privileges or enable SSH services. In the event that this occurs no refund will be payable to the account holder or payee.
