Before registering a domain name with Storm Biz, please first read through our F.A.Q. section below:
Q: What are Storm Web Hosting's Domain Name Servers (DNS) to point my domain to?
A: ns1.stormbiz.co.za and ns2.stormbiz.co.za
Q: I have transferred my co.za domain to your name servers - how long does it take for it to start working?
A: The transfer of co.za domains takes 24 hours, the reason for this is because uniforum uses a ticket system, and the previous hosting company has 24 hours to reply to this ticket. Please ensure that your previous hosting company is aware of the move. If the ticket is not accepted, then the whole process has to be redone.
Q: I have transferred my .com/.net/.org domain to your name servers - how long does it take for it to start working?
A: Usually it may take up to 24-48 hours, however with recent changes for most domains it takes about 4 hours. Once again this system is automated, and requires that the previous registrar accepts the ticket process.
Q: My domain still does not work, but I want to view my website already.
A: You may view your website by pointing your browser to "http://www.stormbiz.co.za/~username/" (replace "username" with your actual username).
Q. I have registered my domain with Storm Biz, when can I see my domain live?
A: New registrations can be seen as soon as 2 hours, however please allow up to 8 hours for complete domain name propogation.
Q. My target market is for South Africans, what will be the best domain for my company?
A: If your market is South Africa, We strongly suggest getting a co.za domain name. If your target market is international, we advise going for a .com, .org, or .net domain.
