  8. Is my site backed up and how often?
    We provide daily backups of data on our servers.  However, it is the client's responsibility to do all back ups of their site. If, in the unfortunate event, something happens to your files, it is your responsibility to have a local copy of your files. We are NOT held liable in any way for any files, money, time, effort, etc. lost due to this unfortunate event. Furthermore, if your files are lost, we will attempt to restore them as a gesture of good faith, but make no promises what so ever about whether the files will be brought back successfully or not. Again, back ups are the client's responsibility.

  2. How do I get my email?
    If you're familiar with your email client's setup, use the following information to retrieve email from your POP account:

    Incoming mail (POP3) server:
    mail.yourdomain.com
    Outgoing mail (SMTP) server:
    mail.yourdomain.com

    * set SMTP authorization within your email program to have the server authenticate you as a registered account holder.

  3. I want to get started right away, but my domain name hasn't transferred/isn't in the database yet. How do I do it?
    After your domain is fully propagated through the system, you can upload to yourdomain.com via FTP or FrontPage Extensions. Propagation takes 24-48 hours depending on the domain registrar.

  4. What is the path to perl?
    #!/usr/bin/perl

  5. Where should I put CGI scripts for my domain?
    All CGI scripts should be uploaded to the cgi-bin folder, for your domain. Be sure to follow the instructions for the script you are uploading regarding setting permissions on the files and folders you create, as they vary from script to script.

  6. I uploaded my files, but I don't see my page?
    If our default "Welcome to the Future home of", index.html, has not been replaced by another index page, then anyone going to domainname.com will still see that page instead of some other home page. This is the order in which the web server looks for a page to put up as the "home" page: >DirectoryIndex: index.html, index.shtml  Just delete the index.html file and anything after it in this list will then come up automatically. Notice that "home.shtml" is NOT on the list and so will not show up as your home page. You would need to rename it.
