Welcome E-mail

Soon after signing up for a web hosting account, you should receive a welcome e-mail from 1st Host Web which will include your username, password and IP address. You will need your User Name and Password to access various features of your account, the most important of which are described below. 

Domain Name

Often a new domain is available for use the very next day after registration, but it could possibly take longer. Transfers generally require 24 to 48 hours to be entered into the name server database. If you purchased a new domain name registered through when you signed up for your account, then you do not need to take any further steps.

If you transferred an existing domain, then you will need to provide the  new DNS information included in the welcome letter to your registrar in order to point your domain at your new account.

If you have an automated registrar, your registrars web site should be able to point you to the appropriate form for updating your domain's DNS information.

Note: We host but do not transfer international domain names. If you have an international domain name you will need to renew your domain name periodically with your current registrar. You may access your site using your IP address while you wait for the domain name to resolve.

Accessing Your Control Panel

To access your control panel account manager, you can login in as follows:

http://www.yourdomain.com/cpanel   

or

http://000.000.000.000/~username/cpanel/ 

please change the IP number to the one we sent in the welcome letter.

If your domain name is not pointing to our servers yet, calling it with your IP will enable access to your account. 

Simply enter the user name and password when prompted.

Note: In rare cases, if you are logging in from behind a company firewall, you may have problems initially accessing your control panel. Please check with your company's IT manager to allow access.
