Once you are ready with your site, you need to upload the contents to the public_html folder. This is the area which is read by the web server to serve your web site files. Your public_html folder should have one of the following as the default page:

index.html, index.wml, index.cgi, index.shtml, index.jsp, index.js, index.jsp, index.php4, index.php3, index.php, index.phtml, default.htm, default.html, home.htm

FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol and it is the process used to upload and download files from a web server. This is done using an FTP program like CuteFTP, WS_FTP Pro, or SmartFTP if you are working with an IBM compatible. Macintosh users can use Transmit, Fetch or Interarchy. Advanced users can also use built-in FTP features of Web Designing Applications like DreamWeaver, GoLive, and FrontPage.

In order to successfully FTP to your site, you need to configure the program to use the following information:

server/hostname: ftp.yourdomain.com
username: username
password: password
directory: public_html

We support both POP3 and IMAP as well as Web Mail Unlike POP3 (Post Office Protocol 3), IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) allows you to read your email directly from the server, while POP3 has to first download your email before it can be read.

IMAP is enabled on our servers and you can use it to read your email using your email program. You'll need to change your email program's settings from POP3 to IMAP.

In order to use a local mail client like Outlook, Outlook Express, Eudora or any other, you may need to configure it before it can send and receive mails from the server. Here is what you will need:

outgoing server name: mail.yourdomain.com
incoming server name: mail.yourdomain.com
username: username@yourdomain.com
password: password

To send email from our servers you need to setup SMTP Authentication. You will need to supply the same username and password that you use with your POP3 email account for outgoing email. This step is required to prevent spammers from sending unsolicited via your account.

You can use the following url to access your email via the Web Mail interface:

http://www.yoursite.com/webmail

WebMail is useful if you need to access your email while traveling or if you do not have access to your home/work computer.

Web sites created in Microsoft FrontPage will need to be published with Microsoft FrontPage. If you requested FrontPage Extentions on your order then your site is ready to be published to. If FrontPage Extensions have not been installed on your web site you can install them from inside the control panel.
