If needed, any of the above limits can be increased for legit usage.

These are the only limits we have in place. Also, for Resellers, the limits are per subaccount not the whole Reseller account i.e resources are not shared between all cPanel accounts hosted under the Reseller, rather the resources can be used for each cPanel account (better!).

These are some of the reasons why our Web Hosting and Reseller Hosting plans are much faster compared to our competitors.

Memory allocation was doubled at no extra cost to the customer on 22/04/2021.

We allow websites with legal adult content only.

We do not allow pornographic or sexually-explicit images of children or any pictures/video which are obtained illegally to host on our servers.

We have been offering Web Hosting with 24×7 Live Chat Technical Support for all of our hosting services, since April 2016. For Sales, Live Chat is usually available between the hours of 8am – 2am [UK Time], 7 days a week).

Live Chat is a very helpful service for people who do not have instant messaging services and do not like to wait for support ticket emails.

Yes we do! Please click here to signup.

If you have a backup of your account that has been generated by cPanel, we can restore it for you and your website will have the same exact information (password, emails, website, databases). If you would like to restore it, please upload it somewhere on your account and send a ticket using our support system and one of our system administrators will import it for you.

IMPORTANT: You should be sure that your current account has nothing on it because it will be discarded before importing your new account.

Your web hosting login information should have been emailed to you. If you haven’t received the email, please check your junk/spam folder and please note emails may take a few hours to get to your inbox. If you still do not get the email within a day, please submit a support ticket or contact us and we will be more than happy to help you out.

JetBackup is the most popular backup software used to backup cPanel servers due to the software being more advanced than the default backup system included with cPanel itself.

We use JetBackup to back up our servers for extra peace of mind.

JetBackup is an excellent software as it allows you to generate and download a copy of your site as it is right now by using the snapshot feature, as well as grants you access to the backups we’ve already taken. Usually, there is one restoration point per night, and we keep 7 to 31 restoration points at a time.

If you want to generate and/or download a full backup of your account or even partial backups of your account as it is right now you will want to do that via cPanel -> JetBackup -> Snapshots and click “Create new Snapshot”. 

Please note: this will only work if your backup is no more than 5GB in filesize and is not using more than 200,000 inodes. Also, you can only have 1 Snapshot per account, and the Snapshots are deleted automatically after 3 days. If your backup is over that limit but would still like a copy of it, please create a ticket, and we will generate the backup for you.

There are numerous options with JetBackup such as Full Account Backups, File Backups and Database Backups to name a few. You may check the features in full at the official JetBackup website here https://docs.jetbackup.com/manual/cpanel/index.html

IMPORTANT: The JetBackup System is our disaster recovery platform, and while we let you use it, we do not guarantee that it will meet your needs or that it will be accessible at all times and under all circumstances. We offer JetBackup on a best-effort basis, and there will be occasions where maintenance or other problems result in the system being unavailable for end-user access.

A Domain’s Nameserver tells the domain where to point to. If you purchased a hosting Plan from HostXNow.com, you should have received an account information email which tells you what nameservers to point your domain to.

Just visit your domain registrar, click on the domain, and change the nameservers. Each registrar has a different method so please read their FAQs on how to change NameServers. We have listed some of the most popular domain registers on our DNS Changes articles. You may also want to create your own Private Nameservers or Custom Nameservers. 

If you haven’t received the email from HostXNow.com, it could be that your account has yet to be set up, or it has been delayed. You should also check your Spam/Junk mail folder.

If you do not receive a new hosting welcome email within an hour or so, please contact support for assistance.

The control panel we use is called Cpanel. A demo of Cpanel can be found here

If you are using cPanel control panel on your old hosting account, then we can transfer all your websites, email accounts, your databases to our cPanel Linux Hosting respectively at no additional charge. If your old hosting account is cPanel based, then please follow our Account Migrations guide.
