  3. Place a domain transfer order with Tierra Hosting and provide the authorization code.
  4. Approve the domain transfer request via the email confirmation sent to the domain's administrative contact email address.
  5. Wait for the domain transfer process to complete, which typically takes 5-7 days.
Please note that domain transfer eligibility and requirements may vary depending on the domain extension (TLD) and domain registrar.

Most small businesses start out needing a simple shared hosting package. If the site becomes more advanced or you start generating much traffic, you may need to upgrade to a larger shared account, a VPS, a semi-dedicated server or even a dedicated server. Should your site reach that point, you can easily upgrade your hosting plan to a new type of hosting easily and without downtime from within your hosting control panel. As always, it's important to review the specific features and limitations of your chosen hosting plan to ensure it meets your requirements.

Yes, Tierra Hosting allows you to host multiple websites under one hosting account, depending on the hosting plan you choose. Most of our shared hosting plans come with the ability to host multiple websites using addon domains or subdomains. You can easily manage your websites and domains through the hosting account control panel. It's important to review the specific features and limitations of your chosen hosting plan to ensure it meets your requirements.

Yes, you can upgrade or downgrade your hosting plan with Tierra Hosting at any time. Simply log in to your hosting account and navigate to the plan upgrade or downgrade section. You can choose a new hosting plan that meets your requirements and follow the prompts to complete the process. Please note that the availability of specific hosting plans for upgrade or downgrade may depend on the current resources and features of your existing hosting plan. It's always recommended to review the details of the new hosting plan and its features before making any changes.
