- Billing administrators can view the Domain tab but cannot save changes.
- Server administrators can also add or delete a domain and change the user and space quotas.
Common questions
Why can I not change the number of users or the space for my domain?
Those boxes are shown to you but are locked. They are set by your service provider's server administrator.
