We have no way of knowing your technical expertise with regards to computer technology. If for some reason you do inadvertently mess up the entire thing, feel free to call us and we will resend your website to you. We do not mind helping out with technical questions.

(1) If Non BCITPRO Inc. staff members access source code all warranties are null and void.

(3) Changes in 3rd party URL's.

(4) Unforeseen changes from any 3rd party that may break current connection paths (links) to said 3rd party services.

Domain Types

We offer all top level domain purchases including .com, .net and .org.

Service Types

We offer Domain Name Management services to Customers using our hosting services. Managed domain services allow us to maintain the (DNS) Domain Name Servers so that if a server goes down we can point the DNS to a newly offered server. Management of domains is primarily for less down time in case of emergency or loss of service due to equipment failure. With Domain Management Services, Customer's site is guaranteed never to be down due to DNS issues for more than 48 hours. If hosting with us we know when your site is down due to DNS issues and can immediately make the changes on your behalf so that you're site is back on line as fast as possible.
