FAQs

I encountered an “Unknown error occured (#500). Please contact us or chat with us.” error after clicking the “Continue” button. Why did I encounter this error?

• The reason why this error happened is because the domain you wanted to change it’s nameservers is already hosted with us. (see image below)

• To continue with your plan to change it’s nameserver so as to point it to the hosting package you want to avail from us, log in your Client Portal first then do a Re-Order of your hosting package. Click Here to learn more about Re-Ordering.
