How do i get started ?
Welcome to IHolyTech We’re happy you’ve chosen us for your web hosting needs. We want you to be successful with your website, and we are more than happy to help if you have any questions about creating a new site or moving an existing site to our servers.
Building a new site?
What software should I use?
If you’re building a new website, one of the first things you’ll need to do is decide which software you’ll use to help create the website. We’ve listed a few of the more popular programs below you can use (click each link for a getting started guide). If you’re not sure which software to use, we’ve recommended a few.
!) WordPress
2) Joomla
3) HTML
These are just a few of the software applications you can easily install onto your hosting account using Softaculous in your cPanel (Control Panel). Feel free to explore and test different software to find the right one for your new website! It’s simply impossible to be an expert in all of the 1000’s of programs that are available, but we’re good at figuring this stuff out – ask us a question if you need some help.
Transferring a site?
If you already have a website and want to transfer it to IHolyTech, the steps you will take depend on whether your current hosting provider uses cPanel or not.
If your previous host uses cPanel, see our article on migrating your website from another host that uses cPanel to IHolytech Hosting.
If you’re coming to us from a host that doesn’t use cPanel, we have a instructions for making a website move without cPanel too.
We assist our customers with moving websites all the time, so we’re comfortable with the process. We understand that some websites are simple to move but others can be more complex. If you run into any snags along the way, ask us a question!
All of our hosting accounts include the ability to manage email accounts. If you consider yourself a beginner in setting up email accounts, then start with our Email Getting Started Guide. We also have an extensive library of email-related articles that can be found on the Email articles index page.
