Frequently Asked Questions

What is web hosting and do I need it? +
Web hosting is the service that makes your website accessible on the internet. Think of it as renting space on a server where your website files live. If you want a website, you need hosting — it's like the electricity that keeps your shopfront lights on 24/7.
Can I upgrade or downgrade my plan later? +
Absolutely. You can change your plan at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately, and you'll only pay the prorated difference. Downgrades apply at your next billing cycle. There are no penalties for changing plans.
Do I need technical knowledge to use these services? +
Not at all. Our website builder is drag-and-drop with no coding required. WordPress installs with one click. Domain registration takes 60 seconds. And if you ever get stuck, our 24/7 support team is here to help.
What happens if my website goes down? +
Our infrastructure is built with redundancy at every level. In the rare event of an issue, our monitoring systems detect it within seconds and our team responds immediately. We guarantee 99.9% uptime — that's less than 9 hours of downtime per year.
Is my data secure with Rhixo? +
Yes. Every plan includes free SSL encryption, daily backups, DDoS protection, and malware scanning. Our servers comply with Australian data sovereignty requirements, and we follow industry-standard security practices including firewalls and intrusion detection.
How long does it take to get my website online? +
Domain registration is instant. Hosting is provisioned within minutes. If you use our website builder, you can have a professional site live in 2-3 hours. With WordPress, you can be up and running in under an hour.
Do you offer refunds? +
Hosting services include a 30-day refund window. For our website build service, the fee is non-refundable once work has commenced, however we offer free revisions within 7 days until you are satisfied. If we cannot deliver what was agreed, a full refund is provided. Domain registrations are non-refundable as they are processed immediately with the registry.
Can I transfer my existing domain to Rhixo? +
Yes. Domain transfers typically take 5-7 days and include a free 1-year extension on your registration. You'll need the auth/EPP code from your current registrar to initiate the transfer.
How do I migrate my website from another host? +
Migration is straightforward. For WordPress sites: install the All-in-One WP Migration plugin on your old site, export it, then import on your new Rhixo hosting. For other platforms: download your files via FTP from your old host, upload them to your Rhixo hosting via File Manager or FTP. Update your domain's DNS to point to your new hosting. Most migrations complete within 1-2 hours with zero downtime if you keep both hosts active during the transition.
What security best practices should I follow? +
Keep WordPress and all plugins updated to the latest versions. Use strong, unique passwords for your admin account. Enable two-factor authentication where available. Install a security plugin like Wordfence or Sucuri. Limit login attempts to prevent brute force attacks. Regularly review user accounts and remove unused ones. Always use HTTPS (included free with all plans). Back up your site before making major changes.
How does SSL work and is it included? +
SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encrypts data between your visitors' browsers and your server, protecting sensitive information. It's what puts the padlock icon and "https://" in the address bar. A free SSL certificate is included with every Rhixo hosting plan — it installs automatically and renews itself. No manual setup required. SSL is essential for customer trust, payment processing, and Google search rankings.
How do I transfer a domain from another registrar? +
Step 1: Unlock your domain at your current registrar. Step 2: Request the auth/EPP code (a security code unique to your domain). Step 3: Initiate the transfer through Rhixo's domain management. Step 4: Approve the transfer via the confirmation email sent to the domain's admin contact. Step 5: Wait 5-7 days for the transfer to complete. Your domain will receive a free 1-year extension. Note: Domains must be at least 60 days old and not within 60 days of expiry to transfer.
How do I manage my DNS records? +
DNS (Domain Name System) records control where your domain points. Common records: A record points your domain to a server IP address. CNAME record creates an alias (e.g., www to your root domain). MX records direct email to your mail server. TXT records are used for verification (Google, SPF, DKIM). You can manage all DNS records through your domain control panel. Changes typically propagate within 15 minutes to 48 hours depending on TTL settings.
What does your 99.9% uptime guarantee mean? +
Our 99.9% uptime guarantee means your website will be accessible at least 99.9% of the time in any given month — that's a maximum of approximately 44 minutes of unplanned downtime per month or less than 9 hours per year. This is backed by redundant power supplies, multiple network connections, automatic failover systems, and 24/7 infrastructure monitoring. Scheduled maintenance windows are announced in advance and excluded from the calculation.
How do I troubleshoot common hosting issues? +
If your site is slow: clear your cache, check for oversized images, deactivate plugins one by one to find the culprit. If you see a 500 error: check your .htaccess file for corruption, increase PHP memory limit, or check error logs in cPanel. If email isn't working: verify MX records are correct, check spam folders, ensure SPF and DKIM records are set. If your site shows a database error: try repairing the database via phpMyAdmin or wp-cli. For all issues, our 24/7 support team can diagnose and resolve problems quickly.
