Can I upgrade from one account type to another?

Yes, you can upgrade at any time. There's a $25 upgrade fee to reconfigure your account. We will also give you any hosting credit left over from your previous account toward your new account.

Will I be able to access my domain name with or without the www?

Yes, if your website is hosted by DeafVision you will be able to access your domain name with or without the www in front. For example, you could access the domain name "any-name.com" by going to http://www.any-name.com as well as http://any-name.com". Many web hosting companies do not offer this feature. For example, try the website of City College of San Francisco. Go to http://ccsf.edu (the site does not come up). Now add the "www" in front - http://www.ccsf.edu. This is an example of a website that only works with the "www" in the URL. With DeafVision your domain will work both ways

What is a virtual hosting account?

We specialize in virtual hosting which means that you can find a home for your website on our web servers and establish a presence on the Internet. We can help register your own domain name which will become your unique address on the World Wide Web. Having your own domain name does not reveal that you are renting web space, and, since email can be addressed to your domain (eg. www.any-name.com) you will not have to announce a new email address if you change internet providers. And, with a domain name you can transfer your web presence at any time and never lose your identity since you can take your www.any-name.com with you
