Can I host a website on Email only hosting?
No. Email only hosting does not allow for websites and databases. This is ideally for those who host their websites with 3rd party providers.
Can I upgrade from Email only to Web hosting?
Short answer. Yes!
We would have to take a backup and migrate the Emails to the web hosting plan.
Simply send us a request to assist with the upgrade.
How does DirectAdmin compare to cPanel?
The short answer is that it compares very favorable in most aspects. DirectAdmin https://www.directadmin.com/ is an extremely flexible, stable and fast hosting panel that also runs on Linux as has proven to be very reliable over the last couple of years.
Will I be able to keep my Email history when I migrate to Serious.host?
Absolutely! All Email messages and attachements are migrated to our hosting environment, prior to transfer of your domain. Your folder structure will also remain intact, so no need for concern.
What if I only use Webmail?
Your Webmail interface will always be accessible, no matter where you are, as long as you have an internet connection. Roundcube is also optimized for mobile devices and therefore super easy to navigate.
What does self-management of Email hosting entail?
This simply means that clients are responsible for the day-to-day administrative tasks that take place within their hosting space as well as any related third party applications, e.g.
1. Creating mail accounts
2. Setting up Emails on desktop client software, mobile and/or tablets
3. Reset Email passwords, etc.
For additional info please navigate to Terms and Conditions | serious.host and select HOSTING.
How do I setup my mail account on a mobile device?
You can view the setup instructions for the most popular devices here: https://hostingsupport.co.za/knowledge-base/mobile-email/
How to setup Email account on Outlook?
Please see view this article for assistance: https://hostingsupport.co.za/kb-article/email-on-outlook-2013-imap/
Am I able to migrate my own Emails to my new hosting account?
Yes, you can. Simply navigate to the IMAPsync migrations option, under Email manager in your DirectAdmin host panel and complete the required fields.
Will there be downtime when Emails are migrated to Serious.host?
This depends.
If you request our assistance we will ensure that there is no downtime or that any possible downtime is planned ahead and communicated accordingly.
