Problems

Q: Why do I get " Cannot Access from outside of ....." or similar error messages when I try going into the Hosting Control Panel?

Q: Why do I get a "PAGE NOT FOUND" error message whenever I click on Email Admin?
A: This happens because your domain name has not yet resolved to our DNS servers.  Please see our New Site Transfer page.

Control Panel Features

Q: What does the FTP Manger do?
A: The FTP manager allows you to create multiple FTP accounts on your site. Once an FTP login account is setup, you can start uploading files with your FTP software.  This is ideal when you have more than one user needing to upload or download files.

NOTE: The FTP Manager lets you create accounts but you have to use FTP software to access such accounts and upload files.

Q: What does the Web User Manager do?
A: This feature is designed for creating users and protecting directories or files.  Please go to the FILE PROTECTION section in the control panel for more info.

NOTE:  This feature is NOT for creating multiple logins to your Hosting Account.  You can have ONE login Name ONE and Password only for your web Hosting Account. 

Q: What does the Secure Server do?
A: This is suitable when your site needs to accept customer credit card and/or sensitive info.  When you turn this option on, any information submitted through your website will be encrypted and protected.  This prevents malicious users from stealing sensitive information when it is submitted form your website.
