PRICING AND PAYMENT OPTIONS
HOSTING PLANS
| If I want to upgrade my hosting plan to the next plan, will I incur extra fees? |

| Typically we set up new hosting accounts on the same day as ordering. Upon activation, we will email you all the necessary information to ensure your initial webpage and email setup are fast moving and trouble free. It can take upto 48 hours for your domain to fully 'point' to our server, however in the interim you have full server access to upload your site and customise all required settings. |
