dot  You will need to do the following three things to get your site and email up and running

Uploading files

Setting up email

Pointing an existing domain to your website files

Uploading files

The first thing you need do is upload your files. If your domain is resolving to our servers you can publish via Frontpage but if not you will need to use an FTP client to connect to our servers and upload your domains content. For instructions on connecting via FTP please click here For instructions on connecting via Frontpage click here If you are publishing via Frontpage, you must wait until the domain is resolving until you attempt to publish. You can not publish via Frontpage to your domain using the IP address. You can however use the IP address to upload your files via FTP. Once you have successfully uploaded or published your domains content then you can view this at http://IP_Address/domainname. The IP address and the exact URL is specified in the welcome email that we had sent you when your account is setup. If you have lost your welcome email please email support. Once your domain is resolving to our servers, you can of course view your site at both http://www.yourdomain.com and http://yourdomain.com.

Setting up email

To set up email mailboxes for your domain you need to login to the the control panel and then click on 'Email Manager'. Once you have created the email mailboxes you will need to configure your email client (e.g. Outlook Express, Outlook, Netscape, Eudora) to download your email.

For instructions on creating mail boxes please click here

For instructions on setting up email clients please visit click on the appropriate client Outlook Express Outlook

For instructions on using our web based email system please click here

Please note you can't check your email until you have transferred your domain as email requires name resolution.

Pointing your domain to your new website files from a previous provider

For details of our name servers and instructions on how to transfer your domain at common registrars please click here

Once you have done this it takes up to 72 hours before your site is available as the changes need to propagate to your ISP. If you have already done this, and you're not sure whether your site is resolving or you are receiving a '403 forbidden' type error, click here

Within 24 hours of placing an order you will receive a Welcome email containing all your account/username details. You will need to store this is in a safe place as it contains important username and passwords to access your account on our various servers.
