Unlimited Bandwidth and Space Hosting

Filed under: General, Web Hosting

Domains at Retail has changed things up to offer unlimited hosting options. People were getting to the site searching for web hosting with unlimited bandwidth and unlimited space. To their dissappointment they would not find that option before.


Well we have listened to what our visitors are searching for and have changed our Premium Hosting plan to an Unlimited Web Hosting plan. You will now be able to get unlimited transfer hosting, if that fits your requirements. While the unlimited option exists, those searching for free unlimited hosting won’t find it here although we do offer free ad based hosting.

Please view our web hosting order page to get more details about the new unlimited space web hosting and unlimited bandwidth hosting we now offer.

One thing to remember, the unlimited plan does include the ability for unlimited domain hosting. What this means is you can have unlimited bandwidth and disk space, but also host 10, 20, 30 or even more web sites all under the same plan. This applies to the deluxe plan as well for multiple domain hosting, but the deluxe of course has space and transfer limits.

Remember to check out our low cost shared hosting plans.

Domain Consolidation

Filed under: General, Domain Names

Domain Consolidation gives you the ability to consolidate all your .COM and .NET domain name renewal dates into the same expiry date. So if you now have expiry dates such as Jan 12, 2010, July 9, 2009 and Sept 18, 2011, you can set all of these domains to expire on the exact same day, lets say Sept 18.

No more will you have your renewal dates tied strictly to your initial registration date. Keep an easy date to remember for all of your .COM and .NET domain name renewals so you never miss an expiry date. Make it easier for yourself to remember. Your domains will not be scattered across the entire year, but the same day.

Let’s see how this works with some visual guides:

  1. Log in to your Domains at Retail Account
  2. In the left sidebar you will see the link for “Consolidate .COM & .NET Renewals” or you can just click the link here.
    Consolidate .Com and .Net Domain Renewals
  3. Next a page will load with a list of Available domains:
    Available domains to consolidate
  4. Click the Domains you would like to Consolidate, or click the double arrows to select them all, as you will likely want all domains expiring at the same time for easier maintenance
  5. Next you will select the Month and Day you would like the domains to be consolidated to, agree to the Terms and click Continue
    Change Domain Renewal Length
  6. You will now be at your Shopping Cart and complete the purchase as normal, and you are done.
  7.  

    Pricing is determined by the number of months adjusted per domain and has a one month minimum. Currently Public Domains are Just $1.50 per month per domain, while Private Domains are just $3.00! The price to ConsoliDate a private domain name includes the extension of the Domains By Proxy® private registration service.

    Quite easily through the Control Panel you can use Domain Consolidation to remove your headaches of remembering all those expiry dates, and make it into one easy to remember day.

Affordable Low Cost Web Hosting

Filed under: General, Web Hosting

A new year is here and everyone at Domains at Retail wants to wish everyone a Happy New Year. We thought it would be a good idea to highlight our Affordable Low Cost Web Hosting plans to everyone.

When thinking of low cost web hosting, you have to be looking at a shared hosting plan. This means multiple clients and web sites are hosted on the same servers. This reduces costs and allows us to offer it at an affordable price that keeps most clients happy.

Three low cost shared hosting plans exist:

Economy Hosting Plan - $4.95 USD / month (Linux and Windows)

  • 10 GB disk space
  • 300 GB bandwidth
  • 100 Email Accounts

SSH Hosting

Filed under: General, Web Hosting, Security

As a Domains at Retail user using our Linux Shared Hosting, you can use SSH to connect to your Hosting account. It is not enabled by default, and will need to be enabled to get the SSH working.

What is SSH?

SSH (Secure Shell or Secure Socket Shell) is a protocol used to securely access a remote computer.

SSH is a suite of three utilities: slogin, SSH, and SCP. SSH authenticates both server and client connections and encrypts passwords. SSH is popular among network administrators for accessing and managing remote servers. It can also be a secure alternative to FTP.

To use SSH with your shared hosting account, you need a client that supports SSH. Some FTP clients offer SSH security.

Where do I find SSH on my hosting account?

  • Click on Hosting from your My Products Menu:
    My Products Menu: Hosting
  • Click on Manage Account:

  • Hover over Settings, and click SSH:
