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: 69.61.9.75
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,
- NEW: you must now select "passive FTP mode".
We also provide you with detailed instructions for setting-up a website with Dreamweaver.
Parameters - DNS - FTP - E-mail - C-Panel - Top
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.
