Answers

Do you accept international customers?
Yes, we have clients from all over the world. If you have a credit card, debit card or PayPal account, we will be happy to host you - no matter where you live.

How long after ordering will my account be setup?
Once your payment has been verified and you have passed a fraud check, we will activate your account. This normally takes 1-2 hours, but we guarantee a 24 hour turnaround.

How is customer support handled?
The quickest and preferred method of contacting support is to contact us via our helpdesk.

What is the process of upgrading my account?
Upgrading your account is quick and easy. Simply contact us via our helpdesk, specifically the Billing Department. Please include the plan you would like to upgrade to.

Will you help me move from my previous host?
If your previous web hosting provider uses cPanel/WHM we can automatically move your files over to our server. Please contact us via our helpdesk. Please be sure to include the IP address of your previous server, the account username and the account password. If your previous host does not use cPanel/WHM, you will need to download a backup of your site and then upload that backup onto your madRooster.com account, unfortunately madRooster.com will not be able to do this for you. However, we can guide you during the transfer. In some cases, the cPanel/WHM automatic account transfer fails, in this case, you will need to download a backup of your site via your previous host's cPanel and then upload that backup through your new madRooster.com cPanel.

Do you offer custom hosting plans?
We do not offer custom hosting plans. Only the plans listed on madRooster.com are available for purchase.

Do you allow websites with adult content?
Websites with adult content must be approved prior to being uploaded to our servers. Clients who do not receive approval prior to uploading adult content will have their account terminated from our network without warning. To contact us regarding your website's content, please contact us via our helpdesk.

How many accounts do you put on a server?
We do not place a set limit of accounts per server. We take into consideration the hardware configuration of each particular server and then place an appropriate number of accounts on it. We place a set number of accounts on the server, then monitor the server for several months and then evaluate if the server can handle more. We constantly monitor our servers and the overall load to ensure the best performance for your website.

How often do you back up files on the server?
Backups are performed nightly and transferred to secondary storage. Even though we perform nightly backups, we highly encourage our users to maintain their own backups of your files. madRooster.com is not responsible for any loss of data.

Do you offer a free trial?
Because we have a 30 day money back guarantee, we do not offer a free trial account.

What happens if I reach my bandwidth limit?
Our clients on a shared hosting plan will receive an e-mail dispatched automatically from the server upon reaching 80% of your allocated bandwidth resource. It is the client's responsibility to contact us upon receiving a bandwidth notification and to make arrangements with madRooster.com. Users who exceed their bandwidth have two options: upgrade your hosting plan or have your account suspended to prevent overage. It is your responsibility to monitor your usage and to contact us if you will exceed your allocation. If a client does not contact us regarding their impending bandwidth overage, the system will automatically suspend the account for exceeding their allocation.

Can I get a refund if I am not satisfied?
We are positive that you will be satisfied with your account, however, if you are not, you are entitled to a full refund within 30 days of opening your account. Please note that refunds will not be issued to accounts that have violated our Terms of Service or have used 50% of their allocated resources.

Is SSH access enabled on my account?
By default, SSH access is not enabled on your account. If your plan includes SSH access at no additional charge, you will need to contact us via our helpdesk to have this activated. Please note you will need to agree to a zero strike policy for SSH access to be activated. More information can be obtained from our helpdesk.

Do I have access to my account's statistics?
We have several statistics programs available for use in your account's control panel.

Can I convert a Linux package to a Windows package and vice versa?
Yes, to upgrade your account between hosting platforms, simply contact us via our helpdesk. Please be sure to include which plan you would like to convert to. Your account will be forwarded to billing to be billed the pro-rated difference for your current billing cycle before your account is converted. A new welcome email will be sent when this has been completed. Your old account will remain on the old server for 3 days to give you time to download your backup off the server.

Can I get an account with more resources than the maximum package?
Yes, to make arrangements for this, please contact us via our helpdesk.

How anonymous are your reseller accounts?
We have setup all of our servers to use an anonymous hostname/domain name which will show in all e-mail headers. You can also brand your control panel to your requirements by uploading your own logo, creating client news, default index page upon new account creation, etc. We also have anonymous nameservers that you may use or you can register your own nameservers and we will configure them on your account free of charge!

Can I make my own cPanel theme or modify an existing one?

Overselling ability can be added to your account upon review and for an additional fee. Please contact us via our helpdesk for pricing and further information.

Can I resell your reseller packages?
Our clients wishing to resell our reseller packages will receive a 15% discount off the normal purchase price. Reseller accounts purchased with the discount must be resold and not used for your account's purposes. Resellers must provide support to resold reseller accounts. Resold reseller accounts are branded in a way to keep madRooster.com invisible to your clients. For more information regarding this, please contact us via our helpdesk.
