Domain Name
What is a domain name?
Your domain name is the address of your website, e.g. myacupuncturesite.com. Choose an available domain name and we will register it for you at no extra cost. If you're not sure what name to choose, we have some suggestions.
Can I keep my domain name if I cancel my QiSites account?
Yes. If you plan to cancel your QiSites account but wish to keep your domain name, contact support to request a Change of Registrant.
What if I already have a domain name?
That's fine. You'll just need to direct traffic to our servers by logging in to your domain registrar's website and changing the nameservers.
Our nameservers are: NS1.QISITES.COM and NS2.QISITES.COM
Can I switch to a different domain name?
Your account is directly tied to your domain name. After signing up if you decide to switch to a different domain name there will be a $59 setup fee for reconfiguring your account.
Updating Your Website
How many pages can my website have?
You can create as many pages as you want. The website editor lets you easily add new pages and organize your navigation menu with simple drag & drop technology. We don't charge by the page.
How do I edit my pages?
You can edit your text and add links, photos and more with our user-friendly website editor. Entering text and applying basic formatting is similar to using Word. You can also upload you own images and documents.
Is there prewritten content?

Hosting & Email
Is website hosting included?
Yes. QiSites is a fully hosted service, so your website hosting is included. You also have 3GB of storage to upload documents and photos.
Can I have email accounts with my domain name?
Yes. You can have up to 3 custom email addresses with your domain, e.g. info@somesite.com.
