Account Basics:

 

If your domain name is not yet live on our servers, you can view your pages by using your IP address as follows: 

 

http://youripaddress/~username/

 

and your control panel as follows:

 

http://youripaddress/~username/cpanel/ 

 

Be sure to include the forward slash after your ip address. 

 

If your domain is live on our servers, you can view your pages within any browser by typing any of the following in your browser: 

 

bullet

http://www.yourdomain.com

bullet

http://yourdomain.com

bullet

www.yourdomain.com

bullet

http://www.yourdomain.com/index.html

bullet

http://yourdomain.com/index.html

bullet

www.yourdomain.com/index.html

 

If you are getting an error when typing the above, several things could have gone wrong, these are as

follows:

 

bullet

Your initial page is not named index.htm or index.html 

bullet

The code in your index.html page is incorrect

bullet

The registration/transfer request for your domain has not been completed. (this process can take up to 72 hours).

bullet

Your account has been deactivated due to non-payment or non-compliance of our policies, or spamming violations.

 

Note: Please select "overwrite existing files" when you upload your pages for the first time. If you do not, you may still see the "welcome page" index.htm file that we uploaded to your public_html folder.

 

Note: You may need to hit the "refresh" button on your web browser to see the new pages.
