:::::::::::::::::: Starter Manual ::::::::::::::::::
::: Host :::
All our clients are hosted on our Cobalt RaQ4s. Your virtual server
account settings are accessible through [ http://www.yourdomainname.co.uk/siteadmin
]. From here you can set up your hosting features such as e-mail, user
accounts, and mailing list. Help is available right the way through the
process but we are always on hand to help if you need it.
Your personal settings are available on [ http://www.yourdomainname.co.uk
/personal ] here you can change passwords and information like your
name.
::: Accessing Your Web Space :::
Warning! Your home page must always be called "index" as this is the
page your domain name first looks for. If there is no index page, the
contents of your web space will be displayed in a list.
Via FTP:
Any FTP client can be used, we recommend Cute FTP from Global Scape to
start with, see our recommended resources
www.//resources . On your FTP client choose to connect
to your host and enter your details below. Once connected you may find
yourself in a folder called "users/[username]" this is the wrong file to
upload data to, because this is your user account with the address [
http://www.yourdomainname.co.uk/~USERNAME ]!
Only data uploaded into your "Web" folder will be seen by the outside
world. To get to this folder choose the up command until you see "web"
folder in the list.
Hostname: http://www.yourdomainname.co.uk
Username: [user]
Password: [pass]
Via Front Page:
This is only an option if you are using the Microsoft Front Page program
to build your web site. When you are ready to publish your web site you
will find the option under the file menu, then publish web.
Hostname: http://www.yourdomainname.co.uk
Username: webmaster
Password: [pass]
::: Mailing Lists :::
These are done from your site admin control panel. Log in via [ http://www.yourdomainname.co.uk/siteadmin
]and go to the list management option.
::: Statistics :::
These are also found in your site admin.
Webalizer stats- these are different from the standard cobalt.
Access them through www.yourdomainname.co.uk/stats, username and password
required.
::: POP3 E-Mail :::
E-mail is also setup in [ http://www.yourdomainname.co.uk/siteadmin
]. Click the blue e-mail button next to a user to set up the address
for the user. Do not put a forwarding address if you are using as a pop3.
The POP3 server will always be [ http://mail.yourdomainname.co.uk/ ]
used for incoming mail.
We recommend you use your current ISP's SMTP server to relay mail.
POP3 Accounts can be used with e-mail clients such as MS OUTLOOK.
::: Web Mail :::
Web Mail is accessed through [ http://www.yourdomainname.co.uk/webmail
]
::: Forwarding E-Mail :::
In [ http://www.yourdomainname.co.uk/siteadmin ], click the blue
e-mail button next to a user and add an address for e-mails to be
forwarded. Below enter all the email aliases that will be directed to this
address.
:::
Catch all E-Mail :::
You can catch all e-mails sent to your domain. This allows emails
to be sent to any address at your domain, even if it hasn't be created
in the siteadmin, and they will be received by one address. Log
into site admin. Choose the user who will receive all other
emails. Enter their email settings via the blue button. Under
e-mail alias enter '@www.yourdomain.com'.
::: My SQL :::
By default a one database is created for you, with the same name as
your username. Your virtual server has a copy of phpmyadmin which is how
you can manipulate your database. [ http://www.yourdomainname.co.uk/phpmyadmin
]
