Accessing Your Account Via its URL or Associated IP Number
If you've just signed up, chances are you've begun the process of a domain creation or a transfer to our servers.
It can take anywhere from 48 to 72 hours for all worldwide DNS records to reflect you domain name as pointing to our servers.
While everything in our welcoming email refers to the domain you signed up, we recommended you use the accompanying "IP" number until you can verify your domain is actually answering to your new account on the server.
Until such time as your domain is officially answering to our servers, you can use your new IP to access and setup your web site.
For example, if your assigned IP was: 000.000.000.000/~username/
your welcoming email would provide the URL http://000.000.000.000/~username/ as an option for accessing your new account.
Again, it's a great way to test all those features and make sure everything is functioning smoothly before launching your web to the world.
Note: email reception, sub domains, and many of your pre-installed CGI scripts may not function correctly until your domain name is circulated.
We recommend using these features only after your domain name is working.
Check your welcoming email for the IP number and Username, which was assigned to your account. Once again, when your new DNS settings have propagated across the worlds DNS servers, you'll be able to access your domain by calling it the standard way, which is http://www.yourdomain.com
