Contents (3 sections)

The Domain India Knowledge Base is a free library of guides for domains, hosting, email, billing and development. You don't need to sign in to read it: open /support/kb, search with a few keywords or browse by topic, and contact support when an article doesn't answer your question.

The full guide to the Knowledge Base

This is the short version. For how the library is organised, how each article is laid out and more search tips, see Discover the Domain India Knowledge Base.

Key takeaways

Go to /support/kb, or choose Support › Knowledge Base in the site menu. Type two or three keywords or the key part of an error message into the search box, and pick a suggestion as you type. If you are still stuck, use 24/7 live chat or open a support ticket; tickets get a first response within 15 minutes.

1. Find an answer in three steps

  1. Open the Knowledge Base.
    Go to /support/kb. It is public, so you can read it without signing in.
  2. Search.
    Type short, specific words, such as "MX records" or "reset cPanel password", or paste the key part of an error message, such as 500 Internal Server Error. Suggestions appear as you type.
  3. Or browse.
    When you don't know the right word, pick a topic from the Knowledge Base home page and open the sub-topic that matches your product.

Add your control panel's name (cPanel, DirectAdmin, Webuzo or Plesk) to a search when the steps depend on it. Guides that differ between panels say so.

2. What the Knowledge Base covers

Getting started
Creating your account, the client area, your first order, invoices and support tickets.
Hosting
cPanel, DirectAdmin, Webuzo and Windows (Plesk): logins, files, databases, email, PHP, SSL, backups and common errors.
Domains
Registering, transferring and renewing, nameservers and DNS, WHOIS details and .in eKYC.
Email and more
Mail app settings, webmail, delivery problems, VPS, the App Platform and developer guides.

3. When you need a person

Some problems need someone to look at your account: the steps don't match what you see, the fix is something only we can change (such as enabling jailed SSH), or the question is about a specific invoice, order or domain.

  • Live chat is available 24/7.
  • Tickets get a first response within 15 minutes; solving the issue can take longer, depending on what it is. Open one from the client area at /client/support/new, or at /support/ticket if you are not signed in, and follow it at /support/ticket/track.
  • There is no phone support.

Include the domain or service, the exact error message or a screenshot, and what you have already tried. Never send a password in a ticket or chat. More on how tickets work: what is a support ticket system.
