  2. How soon will my account be set up and ready for use?
    Account orders are placed in a queue and are processed in the order in which they are received. Your site can be uploaded to our servers immediately after receiving the welcome email, which will contain the IP address for your account, plus the password for the username chosen during signup. In fact, we recommend that clients start uploading their site as soon as possible after setup is complete, so that once domain transfer is completed, the site will be available for use by your visitors.

Please contact our sales department if you require assistance in registering other domain types.

  6. I see some hosts offering "unlimited bandwidth". Why don't you offer this?
    Technically speaking, there is no such thing as "unlimited bandwidth." Someone has to pay for the traffic somewhere - and if you check the fine print of some service agreements from companies who claim to offer unlimited bandwidth, you'll probably find that they do charge for traffic over a certain amount. We dispense with the fine print.

  8. Is my site backed up and how often?
    Yes backups are done daily on all servers, a daily incremental back up and a monthly full backup. The full backups are placed onto tapes and are stored for one month while the incremental backups are stored onto disk and kept until the next full backup is performed.

  2. How do I get my email?
    If you're familiar with your email client's setup, use the following information to retrieve email from your POP account:

    yourdomain.com
    Outgoing mail (SMTP) server (Note: some ISPs do not allow this):
    yourdomain.com

  3. I want to get started right away, but my domain name hasn't transferred/isn't in the database yet. How do I do it?
    You can upload your page(s) immediately by pointing your FTP client to the IP address you were asssigned when you opened your account. After your domain is fully propagated through the system, you can upload to ftp.yourdomain.com.

  6. Where should I put CGI scripts for my domain?
    All CGI scripts should be uploaded to the cgi-bin folder, located under the public_html folder, for your domain. Be sure to follow the instructions for the script you are uploading regarding setting permissions on the files and folders you create, as they vary from script to script

  7. I uploaded my files, but I don't see my page?
    If our default "Welcome to the Future home of", index.html, has not been replaced by another index page, then anyone going to domainname.com will still see that page instead of some other home page. This is the order in which the web server looks for a page to put up as the "home" page: >DirectoryIndex default.htm index.phtml index.pht index.cgi index.shtml index.html welcome.cgi welcome.html index.htm Just delete the index.hmtl file and anything after it in this list will then come up automatically. Notice that "home.html" is NOT on the list and so will not show up as your home page. You would need to rename it.
