Pointing Your Domain to our Servers

This step is simpler than it seems. You will need to log into the domain registrars account that was set up for you by the company your purchased your domain through. There should be an area in their control panel that allows you to change the domain name server settings.

Please set the values to:

Primary
ns1.remedywebhosting.com

Secondary
ns2.remedywebhosting.com

After you have made this change it will take from 24-72 hours for the change to fully propagate. The propagation process is basically just an update of the name servers globally. Their function is to direct anyone that types in your web address to the correct server.

Your E-mail and your site will not be available from the domain address until this process is fully propagated.

You may however access your site through an alias (the back door) by typing the following:
http://www.remedywebhosting.com~username
where user name is the user name you were given to access your Control Panel for your site. Use this method until your domain has fully propagated.


 

Account FTP Access

Account FTP access is the most commonly used method for uploading your files to the web server.

To access you account via any FTP compliant program such as WSFTP Pro or the most recent version of Windows Explorer you will need to have a FTP account set up in the Control Panel.

Typically we set up a FTP account for you on creation of your account with us, but depending upon the circumstances we may or may not have set this feature up for you yet.

Setting up a New FTP account:

Go to the Control Panel and enter your user name and password.
Click on "FTP Manager"
Click on "FTP Accounts"
Click on "Add FTP Account"
Enter Login and password for the FTP account
Enter the character "/" where it asks you for the directory. (This will give you full access)
Click Create

That's its!

Accessing the site via FTP

When logging into the site via FTP you will have to use the complete user name with the domain when logging in For example, if you set up the name "user" then you would have to enter "user@yourdomain.com" and the password to gain access. Just entering 'user" will not work. Keep in mind that it is case sensitive as well.


 

Email

E-mail services comes will most hosting accounts. Therefore more than likely you will want your E-mail to be hosted on our servers with your web site. Once your web hosting account is created you will need to go into the Web Hosting Control Panel and create your E-mail accounts. To do so just click on the "Mail Icon" in the control panel, then click on "Manage, Add & Remove Accounts". There are many other features there as well with regards to Spam control and mail forwarders that you may want to take advantage of.

Before you attempt to download E-mail with a E-mail client such as Outlook or Outlook Express please make sure that you have set up the E-mail account from the Web Host Control Panel and have successfully logged into the account from our Web Mail System. If you can access it from the web mail system then you should be able to retrieve it from virtually a POP3 compliant E-mail client program.

If you would like to use Outlook as your E-mail client and would like to retrieve your E-mail via POP3.

New Account: We assume you have already set up an account in this explanation. If you have not please do so by opening Outlook and clicking "Tools", "Accounts", "Add", "Mail Account". Out look will ask you a series of questions with regards to the information below. Please read about the settings below so that you will understand what values to enter. If you enter something incorrectly don't worry because you can go back to correct the values.

Editing Existing Account: Typically editing account information can be done by opening Outlook and clicking on "Tools" , "Accounts" and highlighting the account you would like to edit and clicking "Properties". You will then be presented with a window that looks similar to the window below depending on the version of Outlook you are using. The setting on the General tab are very self explanatory. Please adjust them to best meet your needs.

You will then click on the "Servers" tab.

You will be presented with a window similar to the example below. These settings are crucial to connection, download and upload of your E-mail.

Incoming POP3: Please adjust this setting to: "mail.yourdomain.com" where "your domain.com" is the value of the web address you have retained and are using. If this does not work please feel free to try "mail.remedywebhosting.com"

Note: Netscape users and select others may experience problems with collecting their mail. In this case, mail server login name must be written with the "%" , "+", or the ":" character instead of the @ sign, e.g. username%example.com

Outgoing SMTP: Please adjust this setting to: "mail.yourdomain.com" where "your domain.com" is the value of the web address you have retained and are using. If this does not work please feel free to try "mail.remedywebhosting.com"

 

 


 

  If you outbound E-mail does not work:

First, please make sure that your Internet provider allows you to use a SMTP server other than their own.  For instance, Cox@home services do not allow you to use any outbound mail server other than their own. Under the SMTP field you may have to use an address like "smtp.west.cox.net" Please check with you service provider.

Second: Check the box for the setting "My server requires authentication".
