Some services may require manual configuration by the NeuroHoster team.

2. Hosting

2.1 What is web hosting?

Web hosting is a service that stores your website files, databases, applications, and related resources on internet-connected servers.

When someone visits your domain name, the hosting server delivers the website content to the visitor’s browser.

Depending on current availability, NeuroHoster may provide services such as:

• Web hosting
• Cloud hosting
• WordPress hosting
• Managed hosting

Available plans and features may change over time.

2.3 How much storage do I get?

Storage depends on the hosting plan you purchase.

Always check the current plan page or your order confirmation for the applicable storage allocation and fair-use limitations.

Even when a plan is marketed with unlimited or high storage, customers should use resources for legitimate website and business purposes.

2.4 What can I host?

You can generally use hosting for legitimate websites and applications that comply with NeuroHoster’s Terms of Service and acceptable-use requirements.

Examples include:

• Business websites
• Portfolio websites
• Blogs
• WordPress websites

• Landing pages
• Company websites
• Educational websites
• Community websites

Certain activities may be prohibited or restricted for security, legal, technical, or abuse-prevention reasons.

3. Account Setup

After your service is activated, NeuroHoster will provide the applicable account or login instructions.

Use the credentials provided during account setup.

Never share your password or hosting credentials with unknown individuals.

3.2 I forgot my password. What should I do?

Use the available password-reset option on the relevant login page.

If you cannot reset your password, contact NeuroHoster support through the official support channel.

For security reasons, you may be required to verify account ownership before access can be restored.

Keep your account information accurate and up to date.

Depending on the account system, you may be able to update:

• Name
• Email address
• Phone number
• Billing address
• Company information

If an information field cannot be changed from your account, contact support.

4. Domain Names

4.1 What is a domain name?

A domain name is the address visitors use to access your website.

Examples include:

• yourbusiness.com
• yourbrand.in
• yourcompany.co

The domain name points visitors to the appropriate hosting server.

4.2 Can I use my existing domain with NeuroHoster?

Yes, where supported.

You can generally connect an existing domain to your NeuroHoster hosting account by updating the required DNS records or nameservers.

4.3 How do I connect my domain?

The exact process depends on your domain registrar and NeuroHoster hosting configuration.

Typical steps include:

1. Log in to your domain registrar.
2. Open DNS or nameserver settings.
3. Enter the nameservers provided by NeuroHoster, if applicable.
4. Save the changes.
5. Allow time for DNS propagation.
6. Verify the domain connection.

Do not change DNS records without understanding their purpose, especially if your domain is already being used for email.

4.4 How long does DNS propagation take?

DNS changes may take some time to propagate across different networks and DNS resolvers.

Some changes may appear quickly, while others may take longer.

During propagation, some visitors may see the old server while others see the new server.

5. SSL Certificates

5.1 What is SSL?

SSL/TLS encryption helps protect information transferred between a visitor’s browser and your website.

A website using HTTPS normally displays a secure connection indicator in compatible browsers.

5.2 Does NeuroHoster provide SSL?

SSL availability depends on the hosting plan and service configuration.

Where SSL is included, it may be automatically installed or may require activation/configuration.

5.3 My website shows “Not Secure.” What should I do?

Check the following:

1. Confirm that SSL has been installed.
2. Confirm that your domain points to the correct hosting server.
3. Make sure your website uses HTTPS.
4. Check for mixed-content issues.
5. Clear your browser cache.
6. Check whether the SSL certificate is valid.

If the issue continues, contact NeuroHoster support.

Also maintain good email-sending practices and avoid sending unsolicited bulk email.

Common DNS records include:

• A

A CNAME record points one domain or subdomain to another hostname.

It is commonly used for subdomains and third-party services.

11.4 What is an MX record?

An MX record determines which mail servers receive email for a domain.

Incorrect MX records can cause email delivery problems.
