Guides

Setup and day-to-day work for every product we sell. Search for the task you need.

Domains

How to register a domain

Pick a popular extension, type the name, finish payment. The registration appears in the panel.

Domains

Move a domain into your TechNest account

Get the auth code from the old company, buy the transfer, and enter the code in the panel.

Domains

Where to get the auth code

You take the code from the account that currently holds the domain. If it is at TechNest, the panel can produce it.

Domains

What the transfer lock does

While the lock is on, the name cannot move without you. You open it only when you intend to transfer.

Domains

What domain privacy hides

The privacy product pulls your name and address out of the public lookup. You remain the holder.

Domains

Change the domain contact

The contact, address and phone are written only on that domain. Your other names stay as they are.

DNS

How to set name servers

To attach the site to hosting, set the domain’s name servers to the addresses shown on the hosting card.

DNS

How to add a DNS record

A, CNAME, TXT and MX records live in the domain’s DNS tool. A record is written only for that name.

DNS

Where an MX record sends mail

MX tells incoming mail which server to use. The website address and the mail address are separate.

DNS

When to turn on DNSSEC

DNSSEC signs the DNS answer so it cannot be swapped. If the name servers do not support it, the site breaks.

DNS

Forward a domain to another address

Forwarding sends the visitor to an address you choose. It does not move the mail.

Hosting

How to open cPanel on a Linux account

The cPanel button on the Linux row signs you into the account. You do not type a separate password.

Hosting

How to open Plesk on a Windows account

The Plesk button on the Windows row opens files, databases, mail and WordPress.

Hosting

How to install WordPress on your domain

The installer lives inside the hosting account. A separate site is not created on the TechNest address.

Hosting

File transfer and FTP

The file port is 21. The user and password match your cPanel or Plesk password.

Hosting

Where to create a database

The database is inside cPanel or Plesk. The TechNest panel does not replace it.

Hosting

Several sites on one account

A multi plan adds extra domains to the same account panel. Each name’s name servers must point at that account.

Hosting

When a dedicated IP is useful

A dedicated IP adds a separate address to the Linux account. Most sites open on the shared address.

Hosting

When a dedicated server becomes ready

A dedicated server does not open by itself. After payment the order is prepared, and the management details appear on the card when it is ready.

Mail

Open business mail on your domain

The mailbox opens as info@yourdomain. A mailbox is not created on the TechNest address.

Mail

Set up mail on a phone and a computer

Incoming mail is IMAP 993, outgoing mail is SMTP 587. Both are encrypted.

Mail

How Google Workspace attaches to your domain

Workspace opens Gmail and Drive on your domain. Management stays on Google’s screen.

Security

How an SSL certificate attaches to the site

The certificate is why the browser shows a lock. It attaches to the domain. It does not replace hosting.

Security

A wildcard certificate also covers subdomains

A wildcard certificate is for *.yourdomain. You do not buy a separate card for every subdomain.

Security

Company checks on an EV certificate

EV asks for the company to be checked as well as the domain. It does not go live until the papers are ready.

Security

What site protection scans

Protection scans the domain for malware and blocklists. It does not replace hosting.

Security

Site backup and restore

Backup keeps a copy of the site. Restore is done from the backup panel.

Security

What site watching reports

Watching checks whether the site opens. When it fails, the result shows on the service page.

Security

When to use a recovery backup

A recovery backup is for returning to the day the site broke. It sits apart from the everyday backup.

Security

Where cyber backup is managed

Cyber backup lives in its own panel, tied to the domain. The hosting password is not reused there.

Site and cloud

How to open the website editor

The website builder publishes from blocks. It is separate from installing WordPress in the hosting panel.

Site and cloud

Where a cloud account is managed

Nest Cloud opens after payment. The management details appear on the card in the hosting row.

Orders

How to read the term and the price

The bold price is what is charged. The struck price is the shelf price. Year two is not twice year one.

Orders

Renew before the term ends

There is no automatic card charge. The end date is in the panel. To renew, buy the same product again or open a ticket.

Orders

What preparing means

Payment is in. If the service could not open immediately, the row stays preparing. Manage appears when it opens.

Orders

How withdrawal and refunds work

A service that has not opened yet is considered for refund through Stripe. A registered domain or an opened hosting account counts as performance.

DNS

When a child name server is needed

A child name server is an address such as ns1 under your own domain. An ordinary site does not need one.

Hosting

Mail and PHP inside the hosting panel

On Linux, mailboxes and the PHP version are in cPanel. On Windows, the same jobs are in Plesk.

Hosting

Open several customer accounts

The accounts plan lets you open separate panels for your own customers. Each customer sees their own domain.

DNS

What premium DNS adds

Faster lookups and a DNSSEC option. An ordinary site does not have to buy it.

Mail

Why SPF, DKIM and DMARC are written

These three records show that mail you send really left your domain.

Mail

Add business mail to Outlook

Incoming is IMAP, outgoing is SMTP. The password is the mailbox password.

Mail

Open webmail in the browser

Webmail is enough when you want to read the mailbox without installing a program.

Mail

MX records for Google Workspace

If you bought Workspace, the domain MX row must point at the server Google gives you.

Mail

When mail lands in spam

First check that SPF and DKIM exist. Then simplify the subject line.

Security

Move a site from HTTP to HTTPS

When the certificate is open, a lock appears at the start of the address. The old http address should also turn into the new one.

Security

The lock is there but a warning remains

The page opens on https, but a picture still comes from http. The browser calls that mixed content.

Security

Attach the certificate to the site

The lock appears when the certificate you bought is bound to the domain.

Security

Which names a wildcard certificate covers

A wildcard certificate also locks the subdomains of one domain. It does not cover a different domain.

Hosting

When the site shows error 500

500 means the server could not build the page. A taken domain name does not explain it.

Hosting

When a page shows 404

404 means the server found no file at that address. It does not mean the whole site is gone.

Hosting

When WordPress shows a white screen

A white screen is PHP hiding an error. The site has not been deleted.

Hosting

Add a second domain to the same hosting

If the plan allows more than one site, you add the second domain as an extra site.

DNS

How to open a subdomain

A name such as blog.example.com sits under the main domain. It does not need a separate registration.

DNS

Make www reach the home page

example.com and www.example.com should show the same site.

DNS

Why a name-server change needs time

The world remembers the old server answer for a while. That is not a fault.

Domains

What happens when a domain term ends

When the term ends, the site and the mail can stop. There is no automatic card charge.

Hosting

Change the PHP version

WordPress and the plugins ask for a particular PHP. Do not pick the newest one at random.

Hosting

What to do when the disk is full

When the quota is full the site slows, mail stops, and uploads are refused.

Hosting

Upload a file with FTP

FTP is the file manager as a program. Do not paste the password into the website.

Security

Restore a site from a backup

A restore writes yesterday’s copy over today’s files.

Site and cloud

Connect a ready-made site to the domain

The ready-made site lives in its editor. If the domain DNS does not point there, the visitor sees the old page.

Hosting

Linux or Windows

Linux is enough for PHP and WordPress. Windows is for applications that specifically need Windows.

Site and cloud

Cloud and hosting, side by side

Hosting opens a shared account. Cloud is a machine with wider capacity.
