| General Setup
By now, you should receive an email from us regarding your
account and other instructions on how to set up your account.
First, you need to transfer your domain to our server.
After doing so, you can login to your control panel at www.yourdomain.com:2082.
With username and password you assigned when you placed your
order, you'd be able login to your CPanel to manage your account.
ATTENTION : The password is case sensitive , so you
will need to enter it exactly as it appears. This can be changed
from the Control Panel by clicking the "change password"
icon.
When you first log into your account, you will see various
hidden files and directories, among them, the two that are
most important are the public_html and public_ftp directories.
Public_ftp
Public_html
Do not delete or rename any of these directories or
any hidden files that you may find. These directories are
automatically setup by the system and are required in order
for your account to function. Deleting or renaming any of
them will cause fatal errors that can only be repaired by
deleting and resetting your account.
Of these directories, the only one that is important
to you is the public_html directory. This is the directory
where you will upload your web pages and create other subdirectories
that will pertain to your web site and be viewable from your
web browser. Your pages will not be viewable on a web
browser unless they are uploaded to this directory.
When you initially enter your public_html directory, you
will see one directory, which is your cgi-bin, and one html
file, which is the placeholder page created by the system
when your account is created.
The CGI-BIN is where you upload your cgi scripts.
Do not delete or rename your cgi-bin.
As you add features from your Control Panel, the system will
automatically create other directories within this area. any
and all sub-directories and/or files created by the system
should not be deleted or altered in any way.
