Fake Email and SMS for domain renewals

Prashant — Wed, 14 Mar 2012 12:12:41 +0000

Some of our customers have received emails / sms telling them that their domain is about to expire and that they need to renew it for $75. Please note that these emails and / sms are from fraud companies. Please check the email address from where it is coming, if it is originating from speedhost.in then we have not sent it. Also, we do not use sms to send renewal reminders as of now. We alway mention our pricing in Rupees and never in Dollars.

If you still have any questions, please feel free to contact our customer support.

Redirecting your website to https

Prashant — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 09:44:15 +0000

If you have bought a SSL certificate and have installed it on your hosting but are still getting http when you type in your website, this is because you need to redirect your website or the folder where the SSL is install to https before you are able to see the Lock sign. Redirecting to https is very simple and can be done from .htaccess with a few lines.

Please see below, make sure you replace example.com with your website name.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.example.com/$1 [R,L]

What is Hosting?

Prashant — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 14:28:04 +0000

We often hear this question, though it is a simple question but what exactly is web hosting and why do you need it?

Hosting is one of the 3 web services which you would need to have for your website to be displayed online.

1. A domain name (e.g www.yourname.com)
2. Hosting space (where you will upload your website)
3. Web Pages (The design of your website)

Anyone of the above missing and you will not be able to see your website online. When it comes to web hosting, you just don’t get the web space but along with it, you get email address in your domain name e.g example@yourname.com. You get the ability to make dynamic website and host databases. You also get a host of other stuff.

Now that you know what web hosting is, you need to find a reliable web hosting services provider… which of course is SpeedHost.in

Happy Republic Day

We would like to wish everyone a very Happy Republic Day!

Wikipedia: In India, Republic Day commemorates the date on which the Constitution of India came into force replacing the Government of India Act 1935 as the governing document of India on 26 January 1950. The 26th of January was chosen to honour the memory of the declaration of independence of 1930. It is one of the three national holidays in India. While the main parade takes place in the national capital New Delhi at the Rajpath before the president, the anniversary is also celebrated with varying degrees of formality in state capitals and other centres.

Note: Our office and phone support will remain closed on the 26.01.2012. However we have Chat and Email support open today as well.
