A:

We offer hosting that meets all of the requirements to run our web applications.
Review pricing and service details.

A:

Unfortunately we are not a domain name registrar, you will need to order a domain name seperately from any domain registration service. As part of the hosting order process, we will provide you with our DNS for you to point your domain name over to your hosting account with us.

A:

There is one more step to complete after registering your domain name. Within your domain name settings (from the website you purchased your domain name) there will be the option to set custom domain name servers (DNS). Changing these to the following values will point your domain name to our web hosting services:

  • DNS1.RWASPHOST.COM
  • DNS2.RWASPHOST.COM

Once these values are updated, please allow up to 48 hours for the changes to propagate worldwide.

A:

Yes. Your current email provider will be able to supply you with their MX Records. Send us these MX record values, along with your contact information, as a support request and your existing email service will remain unchanged.

A:

Using an SSL Certificate to encrypt sensitive user data in transit (such as usernames and passwords) is good a security practice. But, unless you will be accepting credit card data directly through the software systems, an SSL certificate is not required.

If you are hosted with us and need a certificate signing request (CSR) issued, please send us a support request.

General
