  • For Hosting my site with JodoHost, am I required transferring my domain to JodoHost?

    No, you are not required to transfer your domain to us. You need to just change the Domain Name Server (DNS) settings with your current domain registrar. JodoHost DNS information is emailed to you when you add a domain to your account.

  • Can I test my website before changing Domain Name Server (DNS) setting to JodoHost?

    Yes, for each domain you add to your account, you'll be given a temporary access URL through which you may test your site before it actually resolves.

    Domain registrations and related services are managed through our domain platform, DomainsGoFast. For domain-related agreements, policies and frequently asked questions, please visit the DomainsGoFast Knowledge Base.

  • How can I send/receive my emails?

    You can send and receive email from desktop and mobile applications such as Outlook using IMAP, POP3 and SMTP. You can also access your mail through our webmail client from any browser.

  • If my database or websites files get corrupt, can you restore it from a backup?

    Yes, we can do so for free. While we maintain backups of all our servers, we do encourage customers to take their own. JodoHost cannot be held responsible for any data-loss (please read our Terms of Service for more)

  • If my business expands can i upgrade automatically to a higher Hosting Plan?

    From within your OPSPI dashboard, you can easily change your Hosting Plan. There is no fee and you can change any time. You can even upgrade from a shared plan to a reseller plan but this would be more complicated. To do so, you'd first have to sign up for a reseller account and once you have set it up, request Support to transfer your shared account to your Reseller Account.

    BILLING

    We accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express thru Authorize.Net secure payment gateway. Cards are automatically charged on every billing cycle until cancelled by customer. We also accept Paypal. When paying thru Paypal, customer initiates payment every month.

    NO, except 8.25% Sales Taxes (and Tax Exemption Code) is applicable ONLY on Texas, USA residents, others please ignore filling out Tax Exemption Code.

  • After I sign-up, can I change my billing period and is there any discount?

    From within your OPSPI dashboard you can change your billing period to 1-month, 6-month or 1-year any time. You can pay your balance amount and view online invoices in the Billing section of your account. Unfortunately, we do not offer discounts for paying in advance but that does save you from paying repeatedly.

  • How can I buy more add-ons once I've signed up for my account?

    You can buy add-ons, whether it is a resource or a feature, from within your OPSPI dashboard. If you want more disk space, you can click "Change" in front of the disk space indicator and increase your amount to the desired level. Similarly you can buy additional IPs and other add-ons.
