Parameters - DNS - FTP - E-mail - C-Panel - Top
DNS Information:
If you have registered your domain with a registrar company that has password
protected your domain, you will need to manually change the DNS information
on your registrar's
site, so that your domain name points to JSM-Hosting. You
must provide your registrar with our DNS servers' data:
- ns1.jsm-hosting.com - IP: 66.225.217.10
- ns2.jsm-hosting.com - IP: 69.61.12.101 (NEW)
If your registrar is GANDI.net, click here for instructions.
This new DNS information will have to cascade throughout the web. Therefore
your domain name will only point to JSM-Hosting (and really
become "active")
one or two days later.
Parameters - DNS - FTP - E-mail - C-Panel - Top
FTP transfer
As soon as your account on JSM-Hosting is set up, you can now begin uploading
your web files onto your JSM-Hosting website. You can use any FTP software
(for instance, Dreamweaver, FrontPage, WS_FTP...) to upload your files onto
your
website.
Until your domain name is registered and points to JSM-Hosting (see DNS above),
simply use "yourIPaddress" as
the FTP host name. When your domain is active, you may then use "yourdomain.ext" as
the FTP host name.
Please note that:
- Your FTP software must be configured so that all
files are uploaded in the "/www/" or
the
"/public_html/" directory,
- You must now select "passive FTP mode".
We also provide you with detailed instructions for setting-up a website with Dreamweaver.
and for converting a FrontPage website to DreamWeaver.

E-mail
Full e-mail services are available on your account and are easily configurable
on your Control Panel.
If you are transferring an existing website
to JSM-Hosting, be sure to setup ASAP any
existing
POP3 email accounts you currently maintain in order to have a smooth
transition without any loss of e-mail.
Once your domain name points to JSM-Hosting, emails will
be sent to your account on JSM-Hosting. Therefore, it is important that
you get right away your e-mail settings configured properly on your Control
Panel.
Here are the settings
you should use for your PC-based email software (such as Outlook):
- Username: "mailboxname@yourdomain.ext".
- Password: the one you assigned when creating the mailbox in you panel.
- Incoming Mail (POP3) server:
"mail.yourdomain.ext".
- Outgoing Mail (SMTP) server:
"mail.yourdomain.ext", or you may
have to use the one provided by your ISP (Internet Service Provider) -
for instance, "relay.skynet.be"
if your ISP is Skynet.
- Activate button "My server requires identification" button in
Outlook (Express).
JSM-Hosting.com endorses as email software Eudora Light and Microsoft Outlook
(Express) - click here for
more information on setting-up Outlook email.
You can also read your emails on the web, from any PC.
Parameters - DNS - FTP - E-mail - C-Panel - Top
Control Panel
Your Control Panel is a comprehensive version of the user friendly C-Panel.
You can access it anytime at the URL "http://yourdomain.ext/cpanel"
or "http://yourIPaddress/cpanel". Simply provide "your-user-name" and "your-password" that
we sent you in our initial email.
Note that you will need to use "http://yourIPaddress/cpanel" for
the first one or two days, until your domain name is pointing to JSM-Hosting
(see DNS above).
Until your domain name is pointing
to JSM-Hosting, some functions within your Control Panel will
not be available or work properly. Don't panic! As soon as your domain name
is pointing to JSM-Hosting, you can begin taking full advantage
of all our services and features.
