- How do I access my personal web-based Control Panel?
Answer: Once your domain is active, you can access your Control Panel in the following manner:
http://www.your_domain.com/cpanel
You will need to use the same username and password that you use to access your account when using FTP.
- When will I be able to reach my site using the domain name?
Answer: Once the InterNIC announces that your domain name has been registered (or transferred, if applicable), it usually takes about 72-hours before it is active. All internet providers must update their records (DNS tables) to reflect new site locations. This is called propagation.
- How do I update my web pages?
Answer: You can literally create and maintain your web pages, images, and scripts locally and upload them to the web server at your leisure via FTP. You can overwrite existing files or transfer a new file OR use the File Uploader program included in your Control Panel.
- I type in my IP address in the web browser but i get a default page?
Answer: This is because you have a shared IP address, this is called Shared Hosting or Virtual Hosting and how we can make it SO affordable for you! This only really means that you cannot upload files to your site till your DNS (domain name) is active.
