FAQ's

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you provide email hosting?
No, we do not provide email hosting and are not planning to do so anytime soon. If you need custom emails with your mapped domain name, we would recommend using OPTION B, and utilising your domain registrar email hosting or Gmail Workspace.
What is the difference between option A and B?
Option A, is better if you can access your domain name DNS settings (some registrars charge extra for this). DNS settings allow you to have more control of your domain name. It is needed if you want to set up your own records for mail handling.

Option B, is faster and easier. This way we handle your DNS settings for you. But it will require additional support (apply via form) if you need us to add any records/changes to your DNS settings.

How long does it take to beofre my domain mapping is live?
Each time you update DNS (Domain Name System) records in your domain’s zone file, the rest of the Internet must catch up to the changes. This period of catching up is known as propagation. Usually, DNS changes will propagate within a few hours, but it can take up to 48 hours for everything to propagate across the Internet. Many things affect propagation time, including your TTL, your ISP and your domain’s registry.
