Account Quick Start Information
Before your domains DNS propagates.
When you buy a domain if you point the domain to our name servers:
ns.yougoweb.com and ns2.yougoweb.com most of the time the DNS propagates with in
an hour. If you create the domain and don't put in our name servers and
you go back and change them after the fact or you move your account from another
hosting company to our servers then you will have a 24 to 48 hour time when the
DNS will bounce. You will see the web page pointing to us and the next
time you look it will be gone or pointing back the the old host. This is
what we call DNS HELL. When this happens their is nothing No One Can Do.
Only Time Will Heal The Hurt.
Uploading your web site Before your DNS propagates:
During this time you can only upload your web site using a FTP program like
CuteFTP or using your cpanels file manager. You will use the Server IP
that was in your welcome email and the user name. The user name is the
KEY. This will put you in the right account! You can't view your web
site using this IP you can only FTP to it.
Clients using FrontPage to publish their websites: The only way you can
upload your web site using FP before the DNS propagates is if your account was
purchased with a dedicated ip address. At this point the DNS will
propagate before you can convert over to an IP account. It would take 24 to 48
more hours after the change. It is best to hold off and let the DNS
propagate.
Where do you upload your files?
You upload them to the public_html directory. You may note a directory
called "www". Do not mess with this as it is a copy of the public_html
directory.
How To View your web site before the DNS hits:
You can view your we site by using the server ip and adding the ~ and user name.
You can view http://login-a.com using
http://74.86.37.208/~logina This
is also a good way to see if the server it up or if your domain NAME is having
issues. This is a handy tool at times!
How To Access Cpanel before the DNS hits:
http://ServerIP/cpanel. Again the user name is the key. If you have
5 accounts on the same server you would use the same IP just put in the
different user name and passwords.
After your domains DNS propagates.
Uploading your web site: You can use an FTP program, Front Page Dream
Weaver or any other program that uploads.
Where do you upload your files?
You upload them to the public_html directory. You may note a directory
called "www". Do not mess with this as it is a copy of the public_html
directory.
How To Access Cpanel:
Cpanel Access: http://1domainname/cpanel. Make sure you change the server IP
with your domain name in your web pages and FTP.
How To Access the FREE WebMail:
Yep you have free WebMail. Just type in your domain name/webmail.
http://yourdomain.com/webmail You will be asked for user name and
password. The user name is the whole email address not just the first
part. joe@Dman.com
Good To Know Information
Setting up your POP3 email accounts:
It is best not to use the account user name as an email account! Set your
incoming and outgoing email servers to "mail.1domainname". Some ISPs will not
let you bounce email off their servers. If that is the case then you will need
to set you out going email server to your ISPs server. We have no control over
your local ISP. It is best to use your local ISP's outgoing email servers
if they will let you.
DO NOT go click happy on all the buttons inside your control panel as many have
made their sites not work by using the password protect button wait till you are
sure of what you are doing here...
Note: Save your files on your hard drive. We back up our servers once a
day. Our backups are for server recovery only. Saving your files on the server
using FrontPage Server Extensions is cool but it can come back to bite you. Be
safe and save your data on your hard drive. The Cpanel has a cool back up tool
that you can use!
