How long does it take you to process my application and set up my web hosting account?

I have been notified that my account has been set up but my site is still not active.

If you have received a notification e-mail and it's been over 48 hours, it means either that you did not point your domain name to the right DNS servers, or that your ISP's DNS server has not yet been updated. It generally takes 24 hours for domain names to become active. This is just how the Internet works; there is no way we can speed up the process.

What DNS should my domain name point to?

Your welcome e-mail will detail which of our DNS servers you should point your URL to.
All virtual hosting accounts point to:
NS31.SERVERROOM.US

Does e-mail or FTP count against my bandwidth limit?

Yes. All FTP and incoming/outgoing e-mail traffic counts against your total bandwidth.

Jump to top
What happens if I exceed my allocated bandwidth?

You will receive an automatic e-mail message warning you that you have reached 80% of your contracted limit. This should give you plenty of time to contact Primcast and purchase more bandwidth. Once you have exceeded your limit, your account is suspended for the rest of the current month.

Do you support mySQL?

Yes. We run mySQL server version 4.0.18

Jump to top
What path name should I use for CGI/PERL scripts?

You may use either #!/usr/bin/perl -or- #!/usr/local/bin/perl
Both will work!
