Do I have to use a real domain for my account?

Can I use a fake domain when setting up my account or do I need to use a real registered domain?

Answer #1

Hello,

While it is highly recommended that you use a real domain name, it is not required. If you do not use a legitimate domain, you won’t be able to use a lot of the services included in our hosting plans (e.g. emails). You will also be forced to use the IP address of the server to access your site.

You can change your domain at any time by following the instructions located at the following link…

If you have any questions, please feel free to reply here or you can open a ticket with our support team through Backstage.

Happy Hosting!
