The things people actually ask

Domains, hosting, billing and support - answered plainly. If yours is not here, live chat is open and a person will answer it.

Section

General and billing

8 questions in this section.

What is SkyCore Host?

A web hosting and domain registrar. We do shared hosting, WordPress hosting, VPS and dedicated servers, cloud hosting, business email and domain registration, with support behind all of it.

Which regions do you serve?

The United Kingdom, United States, Canada and Nigeria have local sales and support, and we serve customers anywhere else remotely. Support runs to the clock rather than to an office.

What payment methods do you accept?

Major debit and credit cards, regional processors including Stripe, Paystack and Flutterwave, and cryptocurrency. Which ones you see depends on where you are, and they are shown automatically at checkout.

Do you offer a money-back guarantee?

Yes - a 7 day money back guarantee on hosting. Domains are not included, because a registration is paid to the registry the moment it is made and cannot be undone. If you are unsure whether something qualifies, ask billing before you order rather than after.

How does auto-renewal work?

When it is on, your domain or hosting renews from your saved payment method before it expires, so nothing lapses. You can turn it off per service in your client area, and we send reminders either way.

Can I get a refund?

Within the 7 day window on hosting, yes. Outside it, or on domains, it depends on the product and how long it has been running - talk to billing on live chat or a ticket and they will tell you what applies rather than guess.

How do I upgrade or downgrade my plan?

From your client area, at any time. The billing system prorates the difference automatically in both directions, so you are not charged twice for the same period.

Is my payment information secure?

Payments go through PCI-compliant gateways and we never store full card details on our own servers. The card is held by the processor, not by us.

Section

Domains

6 questions in this section.

How do I register a domain?

Search for it, add it to the cart and check out. Most are active within minutes of payment clearing. Our search shows availability and the price - including the renewal price - before you commit.

Can I transfer a domain I already own?

Yes. Unlock it at your current registrar, get the authorisation (EPP) code from them, and start the transfer here. Most transfers add a year to your existing expiry rather than resetting it.

What happens when my domain is about to expire?

We send reminders ahead of the date. With auto-renewal on it renews itself; without it you can renew manually from the client area. Do not let it lapse - recovering an expired domain gets expensive quickly.

Do you offer WHOIS privacy?

Yes, on every extension whose registry permits it, at no extra charge. A few extensions and most country-code domains do not allow it - that is a registry rule rather than our choice.

Can I register several domains at once?

Yes. The bulk search checks your whole shortlist against every extension you care about and sends the available ones to a single checkout.

Does domain locking stop unauthorised transfers?

That is exactly what it is for. It is on by default, and you unlock it yourself when you genuinely want to move a domain elsewhere.

Section

Hosting and servers

6 questions in this section.

What is the difference between shared, VPS and dedicated?

Shared hosting puts many sites on one machine and is the cheapest way to be online. A VPS gives you a reserved slice of a server with full root access. Dedicated resources give you the whole allocation with nothing else scheduled against it. Most sites are happy on shared hosting for longer than people expect.

Is SSL included?

Yes, free with every hosting plan, installed and renewing automatically. You should not have to buy encryption separately in 2026.

What uptime do you guarantee?

99.9%, monitored continuously across our data centres.

Can you migrate my existing site?

Yes - site, email and databases, with the cutover planned so downtime is minimal. Tell us where it is now and we will tell you honestly what is involved.

Do you offer managed hosting?

Yes. We handle maintenance, security and backups so the server is not your problem.

Is reseller hosting available?

Yes - resell hosting under your own brand, with your own pricing and your own clients.

Section

Support

4 questions in this section.

How do I reach a person?

Live chat is answered around the clock. For anything needing detail or attached to your account, a ticket reaches the right team faster than chat will. Sales and billing also take calls during business hours.

What are your support hours?

Live chat and the ticket queue run 24/7. Phone calls for sales and billing are business hours, with priority replies outside them.

Is there a knowledgebase?

Yes, with step-by-step guides for domains, hosting, email and account management, available from your client area at any time.

How do I check whether something is down?

The server status page shows real-time service status. If something looks wrong there and you have not heard from us, tell us anyway - it is useful to know.
