Getting Started
If you registered
your domain name with us, your dns nameservers will automatically
be set.
If you did not register your domain
name with us
The very first step is to change your domains dns settings to
the nameservers you received in your "New Account Information"
e-mail.
You must go to where
you registered your domain and change the DNS to our DNS so that
your domain name will resolve to our nameservers.
Uploading to your site
You
can begin uploading to your account now by using a ftp client
or cPanel's File Manager. If you are using an ftp client program
put in your sites ip address under the "host address" field and
your username & password. Once your ftp is connected go into
the "public_html" folder and begin uploading to your site.

Composing Your Website
The easiest
way to create a Web page is to use a Web authoring-tool, also
called an HTML Editor. Some of the more common editing tools are
Composer, which is free and available from
Netscape, FrontPage, which is available
for purchase from Microsoft, and Dreamweaver,
which is available for purchase from Macromedia. These
tools write the HTML code for you as you compose your page. Using
them is similar to using a word processor such as Microsoft Word.
Also when you login to
your cPanel, there are many pre-made websites, shopping carts,
templates, community forums, blog, ect... to run your business
and/or personal websites that you can install automatically in
the "Fantastico" section of your cPanel.
